Message from mission organizer Sean W. Scott

The power of the individual to affect change is only limited by his or her imagination. Yesterday I imagined a plan to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. We have all seen the pictures and seen the horror that is transpiring just a few hundred miles from our blessed country. Pain and suffering on a scale that is unimaginable. How can we help? Yes, donating to Red Cross is a great idea, but I want to participate in a direct way, I want to directly help. While most of us cannot do that I am blessed to be in a position to facilitate such an effort. And I want you to come along with us, personally or virtually through our blog.

Since yesterday we have a commitment from our friends at a local corporation to use their Falcon Jet. What a fantastic company and special thanks for their support. Our plan is to put medical personnel including doctors and nurses on the ground in Haiti along with supplies and equipment for a week. At the end of the week the team will be extracted and a new team will take its place.

Aggressive, preposterous, insane? No, just committed to contribute and make a difference. Join us now. Follow along on the blog, connect us to resources, donate some money to help with supplies and medicine. We are moving fast. The people of Haiti cannot wait till its convenient for us to help.

Sean W. Scott.

Update from Haiti 6:30 AM January 29


Update from Haiti 6:30 AM January 29 – the medical team is safe and all is going well. There are 10 people on our Med Team, plus Jay Madhu and Michael Pinson. This photo was taken by Jay and uploaded from Haiti showing the team in action. More are available on flickr by clicking here.


Brad from Bayfront Med delivered a baby boy yesterday. That was a positive sign in light of all the destruction the team has seen. The team is treating 150-200 people a day. 

Amy is teamed with another group’s surgery team and she is doing 7-10 surgeries a day. 

The team reports that they have over 3000 photos and videos between them.

Today the team is packing up and going out about 30 miles to help a Med station with 300+ victims a day and only 3 Med students. The team has enough Meds and supplies to take the Team and go today.
