Giving valuable time and expertise to performing vital orthopedic and joint replacement surgeries at no charge to indigent people in communities across Nicaragua. For many, these vital surgeries are life changing experiences in a region of the world where such procedures are almost impossible to afford and dream of.

A donation will help towards the cost of paying for equipment, expenses of the trip, travel, lodging, food for the team members. It also goes toward surgical instruments, implants and medications. The goal for the week the team are there is to do 42 total knee replacement surgeries. We have set a fundraising goal of $20,000.
