1% for the Kids 🚼

Medical Mission Ecuador!


We are gearing up for this years trip and wanted to thank everyone who donated from last year and let you know how you could help this year!

If you didn't already know, MME is an amazing non-profit organization dedicated to helping children affected by neurological and other diseases who don’t have access to sufficient medical care.  Through the week-long medical mission, they provide free surgeries, physical and occupational therapy, medication, equipment, and education to their parents and families on how to care for child in the future.

Every year, we pay our own way to volunteer for the week and help those in need.  This past year, we received a ton of help from our patients to fundraise and were able to make a huge difference in the lives of not only the children affected, but their families as well.

Last year was another HUGE success!


345 kids received close to 1,250 treatments from the 75 healthcare professionals who went down to Ambato!
143 wheelchairs were donated or fixed up!

All together, over 4,000 lives were changed forever by the end of the week, because one child's immobility has a ripple effect on their caregivers, family, and friends.

We'd like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who helped us help these kids:
