Just listening to your story, holding your hand, holding you while you cry, helping you, you know. you know, find water, you know, because that's what you need in the moment, or diapers for your baby.” --Teresa Gray CNN Hero Teresa Gray founded Mobile Medics International in response to seeing Syrian refugees in need back in 2015. Since then she has formed a large and nimble volunteer team from around the world who bring their unique brand of mobile medicine, support, and love to people in need around the globe. ✨Support Mobile Medics International On-site Aid in Hawaii✨ In this episode we discuss: • Mobile Medics International founding and mission. • Who's on the MMI medical team dispatched to Maui. • What the MMI team found arriving in Lahaina. • What is most needed in Lahaina. • The kinds of medical needs Mobile Medics is treating. • Psychological first aid given to victims. • Difficulties in being a volunteer in the aftermath of a crisis. • How to safely and meaningfully donate to the victims. • Building a relationship with an NGO you value.
