I just want to say a great many thanks to those who were awesome enough to donate to my trip. It was an amazing experience and I hope that if any of you ever have the opportunity to help others in need... DO IT! It will forever change you for the better.
Also, if I have your mailing address, then expect great things in the mail, for your good karma is abundant! :) If I don't, then send it to the email address at the bottom of the screen.
Thanks and forever be well in all things dear family and friends!
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
I appreciate all of you who are deciding to support me on this very important endeavor. These moments in medical mission are the single-most important experiences that I may ever have. Your generous gifts will enable me to grow and excel more quickly in the gifts that God has given me to succeed in this world. Know that every dollar you donate, is another step that will allow me to succeed in my own dreams of helping anyone that is in need.
NDI - Natural Doctors International is an organization that sends naturopathic physicians, naturopathic medical students, and other doctors/medical students alike that want to serve developing nations that require medical care. This year a possible 18 of us will be traveling to the island Ometepe in Nicaragua to provide medical assistance through a clinic on the island to those that require medical attention. We will be using all of our skills as physicians using our many natural therapies to treat all kinds of conditions, whether acute, chronic, pediatric or geriatric; we will have the chance to see it all!
Also each one us is required to bring donations to the island. This can include medicines, supplements, protein powders, itch cremes, kid's formulas... truly the sky is the limit. Please contact me at drjsimpson1@gmail.com if you are interested in how to donate physical items.
Donating monetarily through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. You can receive a tax-deductible receipt for your own tax purposes.
Many thanks for your support. I cannot even begin to describe what has been put on my heart to do for these people in Nicaragua. I know that I am on a unique journey, but a journey that cannot be done alone. With your help, I will be able to break down the walls of the body's healing potential and truly make a change!
Please don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
Many thanks and blessings to those of you that support me! I will be praying daily for each and every one of you.
Be well,
Dr. Derek
