Trip to the Mothership: Direct Relief HQ in Santa Barbara, CA

Since before our site registered its first patient, we have been blessed to receive support from Direct Relief- a nonprofit organization based in Santa Barbara, California doing incredible work all around the globe.

Direct Relief helped us equip our center and since opening our doors we have received several shipments of medicine and supplies from Direct Relief each year.

In October of this year, we had the opportunity to spend a day visiting Direct Relief's headquarters. We toured the facility and learned about the fascinating history of Direct Relief. We witnessed firsthand how impressive and smooth their state-of-the-art operations are. And we were able to share a bit about our work in Guatemala.

(our oldest daughter, Andrea, pictured in some of the images came along for the ride to take her PSAT at a high school in the area :)

One of Direct Relief's journalists, Olivia Lewis, penned a fantastic article highlighting our work in Guatemala (click the image below to read the article).

We came away grateful for our relationship with such a formidable and consistent supporter.

We have tremendous gratitude for Direct Relief as well as all of our other supporters.

Without you we could not provide our marginalized and vulnerable patient population with the high quality care they deserve.
