Hello! And welcome to our blog! Jason and I are heading to the Philippines in February and I will be heading to Honduras in October with Uplift Internationale to assist with cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries. I have traveled to the Philippines twice in the past with the same organization for the same mission and have found it terribly rewarding. This year we're attempting to raise the majority of the funds for the trip as we have some lifestyle changes in the near future.

In order for us to help in the way we would love to we would like to meet a goal of $5000. This will help cover flight expenses to each destination. The patients that are treated by Uplift Internationale pay nothing for their surgery and pre/post care. All surgeries are funded by the monies raised by UI throughout the year.

Please consider donating through the Uplift Internationale website.

We will be blogging about the progress toward our goal, past trip experiences and we will blog while on our mission trips in the coming months.

Thank you for your support!
