Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for your interest in the Helping Farmworkers and Their Families in Moultrie, Georgia Momentum campaign. Even though this campaign has ended, you can still support the Lillian Carter Center for International Nursing Migrant Farmer Program by making a gift here, today!
Thank you again for your support of the Farm Worker Family Health Program!
We are pleased to announce the launch of our 2022 Momentum campaign. Every year, for 29 years, the FWFHP has been dedicated to serving workers and their families with vitally needed clinical health services.
We hope that you will visit our new page and continue your support by making a gift and sharing our 2022 page, http://momentum.emory.edu/Moultrie2022, with your networks to help spread the word about the important work we are doing.
Thank you.
Because of you all, we were able to raise 83% of our $5,000 fundraising goal this year! We would like to thank you all for donating, sharing the fundraiser with your networks, and telling people what the Farm Worker Family Health Program is all about. This year was likely our most challenging year yet, given the planning and precautions needed to safely undertake the program amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges, we successfully provided care to 200 school children and 617 adult farmworkers!
All faculty, students, volunteers and patients stayed healthy and well. In partnership with the Ellenton Clinic, we also administered the COVID vaccine to farmworkers who needed it – though most were already vaccinated.
We provided an inter-professional immersive learning experience for the following 109 students who participated:
1. Pre-licensure Emory Capacity BSN students: 5
2. Pre-licensure Emory MN students: 15
3. Emory Graduate MSN students: 19
4. GA State Physical Therapy students: 10
5. Brenau Physical Therapy students: 15
6. Central GA Tech Dental Hygiene students: 26
7. UGA Pharmacy students: 8
8. Brenau Psychology students: 3
9. Volunteers from across the health professions: ~8
Thank you again for your continued support and we can’t wait to be back in Moultrie with the children and the farmworkers again next year!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to support our Farm Worker Family Health Program. Your generosity does not go unnoticed. It is with you that we are able to keep this program running! We are promoting our Momentum campaign one final time before the campaign ends on July 5, so please take this opportunity to share the campaign (via Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, or by emailing our link: momentum.emory.edu/moultrie2021) with your networks and spread the word! We are so close!
Our last group of students are heading home today. Overall, we were able to serve over 100 more farmworkers than anticipated, totaling over 600 farmworkers! In addition to elementary school children, we were also able to screen middle school children at the school, totaling over 200 children and adolescents screened.
Donations and grants are our primary sources of funding, so we appreciate any funds still coming in! We are extending our campaign through July 2nd, so please share our campaign (via Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, or by emailing our link: momentum.emory.edu/moultrie2021) and the work we are doing with the farmworkers and their families in Moultrie with your networks. By spreading the word, you can help us continue to fund our work!
Your support ensures that needed supplies and other program support will help us continue to offer this important service learning opportunity to our students and to serve a vulnerable population that enables us to have food on our tables. Anything is appreciated!
We have finished our first week here in Moultrie! Students have seen over 150 elementary school children and over 300 farmworkers. Dental students from Georgia Central Technical College were able to join us for this week, and they placed over 300 sealants on the children. Please continue to spread the word about how to donate to this amazing work our students are doing, and stay tuned for next week’s activities as we will have Brenau psychology students joining us as well!
You can share our campaign with your network via Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, or by emailing our link: momentum.emory.edu/moultrie2021. Let’s reach our goal together!
