My name is Sarah and I’ve been a nurse in the UK now for over 10 years. (I’ve been slightly grey haired for a while!) I’m looking for funding in order to become a full time volunteer nurse, initially based in Syria. Hence the need to clear my mortgage.
I’ve just returned home from Syria, where, as a volunteer nurse for an American charity I set up and ran a family/general practice clinic in a small town with a variety of drs and another nurse. During my time there I did everything. I was the nurse, HCA, pharmacist, cleaner, Tech support, medical equipment fixer, translator, on call service, first aide, occupational therapist and Physiotherapist to name a few. It was amazing. The patients I helped had been through so much during the previous regime and most had v. little. The team I worked with were also soooo amazing. They put up tents, cleaned, plumbed, wired, cemented, sorted, sanded, dug and supported each other in too many ways to count or mention I was heartbroken to leave but had a house and bills to pay. The clinic is under the flight path of rockets and missiles going in both directions of Israel and Iran. I’m desperate to get back there in the next two weeks to help look after, the team and also the locals or anyone else who needs our medical help. The charity I went out with and would initially go back to support is https://friendships.org/middleeast/ . You can also see part of what I helped this charity achieve if you have a facebook account and go to https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18PYqXZP2Q/?mibextid=wwXIfr.
Thank you for finding out about me and my dream. I’m sorry we’ve not managed to chat in person so that I could find out about you. I’ve also not been clever enough to attach photos. For now though, would you consider helping cover the costs which involves my mortgage, bills, travel, nursing registration and insurance? For a year and paying off the mortgage, it would cost£56,348.21 ~ US$ 76455 (according to google), or part of my mortgage, to enable us, (you through me,) to support these people? If not, what would you consider? I’m more than happy to supply more information. (I just didn’t want to bore your socks off with calculations!)
Thank you again for taking the time to stop by and thank you for choosing to help this community, and hopefully those further afield in the future. :)
