Thanks to you we…
…continue our mission to reach every corner of Mexico and provide free medical care to those in need.
That's why we're excited to share that in August, the state of Guanajuato hosted our complete medical team, consisting of dentists, nutritionists, health promoters, and volunteers. This move has expanded UBGA's reach. This wouldn't be possible without your help, and for that, we want to sincerely thank you as a donor.
September is a special month; our hearts were filled with #LoveforMexico and gratitude for the generosity of those who made it possible for all of us to receive quality medical care regardless of all circumstances. VIVA MEXICO!
Also, September was a very busy month. Final details of our Annual Fundraising event were done. We are excited to share some photos.
October was surrounded by laughter, music, and heartfelt moments, the event was a true and special experience. From the tasty food to the music, every little thing was planned carefully to make sure it was a moment to remember.
We express our sincerest gratitude to all attendees who made this event an extraordinary success. Your presence and enthusiasm were the sparks that lit the path to achieving our goals.
November was a month where the sense of community, solidarity, empathy, and commitment came together to aid the state of Guerrero. The impact of Hurricane OTIS was devastating. News and photos did not do justice to the true needs of those who were left homeless and without livelihood.
We are proud that, with the help of donors and our dedication to improving the quality of life for those who need it most, we were able to promptly respond to the contingency caused by Hurricane OTIS.
Throughout these four months, we managed to attend:
41 localities in 4 municipalities in the state of Campeche
46 localities in 15 municipalities in the state of Chiapas
6 localities in 2 municipalities in the state of Guerrero
72 localities in 9 municipalities in the state of Guanajuato
58 localities in 20 municipalities in the state of Hidalgo
20 localities in 10 municipalities in the state of Nuevo León
32 localities in 11 municipalities in the state of Puebla
281 localities in 41 municipalities in the state of Tabasco
29 localities in 10 municipalities in the state of Tamaulipas
8 localities in 1 municipality in the state of Tlaxcala
148 localities in 20 municipalities in the state of Veracruz
Thanks to the donors, we were able to provide over 81,000 medical consultations in these past four months.
