Stuermer seeks donations for medical mission
March 9, 2017
Pharmacist Aimee Stuermer, Bonners Ferry, will be returning to Guatemala on Friday, March 10, to volunteer once again with a Faith in Practice medical mission. Unfortunately, she's nowhere near reaching the amount of donations she'd hoped for to provide the level of care she would like to.

"I am so excited to go again, since the last mission changed my life and that of the thousands of people we helped," she wrote. "Help me bring healing to the poor of Guatemala by making a donation to Faith In Practice."

Donations don't cover her costs for the trip, she pays those on her own, but they do help cover the cost of medicines, supplies, patient transportation to and from our facilities, clinic set up and operations, and food and shelter for patients who are awaiting or recovering from treatment.

Each mission costs $32,000 beyond the personal expenses of travel and volunteering time and expertise to Faith in Practice. The Wells Village Team, comprised of volunteers from many medical disciplines, will be serving the poor and sick of Guatemala for one week, serving over 2,500 Guatemalans.

Aimee had hoped to raise $1,000 for the mission, but with only one day until her flight, only $109 has been donated.

Donating is fast, easy, and secure, just go to https://donate.faithinpractice.org/fundraise?fcid=883248.

"I truly appreciate any support you can provide," Aimee said. "It will help bring healing to thousands! Thanks so much for journeying with me in this life-changing mission!"
