In-kind Donations Make an Impact
Medical Supplies
Surgical resources that easily treat disease and debilitating accidents in the United States remain inaccessible for the vast majority of the people in Bolivia. Equipping Bolivian hospitals and surgeons with needed instruments and supplies is essential for the care of our patients and the advancement of our mission. Your medical supply donations help equip hospitals in Bolivia and Paraguay to provide high-quality care to those living in deep poverty.
Before making an in-kind donation, please refer to our Medical Supply Wish List.
Other Donations
In addition to medical supplies, we gratefully accept these in-kind donations:
Gently used luggage helps us transport medical supplies on trips.
Live and silent auction items support our annual Fiesta Gala - our most important fundraiser of the year. Goods, services or exciting experiences around the Chicagoland area are greatly appreciated.
