All the members are volunteers; no one is a paid employee and all funds are raised by the team members. It costs approximately $1500 to send a team member on a trip, and all donations are tax deductible.
There are no paid employees and all labor, supplies and funds are donated. The organization coordinates with area hospitals, pharmaceutical representatives and local businesses to collect needed items. All supplies are brought by the team or purchased for use in the host country. MIMA is funded primarily from private individuals...your help is needed.
Some people ask why do I do this, and my answer is simple. I lived in a country like Bolivia half of my life, and I know how Bolivian people would feel if they had just one day of a great life that you and I have. A life they may never know. So by doing what we do hopefully we can bring some of that joy that we have to them. And reminds us how grateful we should be for what we have, and for people who make this journey happen. It is a JOURNEY of HELP to others.
