Humanitarian Relief for Haiti
The recent tragedies that have effected the country of Haiti are not soon to be forgotten. The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere has just become sub poorest as millions have been effected by the EarthQuake in Port Au Prince.
ChiroMission has a long history with the people of Haiti both by providing care and resources to the people in Haiti and the outer Haitian Villages found throughout the Dominican Republic.
Do the people of Port Au Prince need Chiropractic now? YES! Is it the most important thing we can do right now? NO. As Humanitarians, we are interested in serving the less fortunate in any way we can to meet their needs. It is our collective intention not to occupy Haiti and require the resources they need so badly, but to come together and raise funds to provide necessary supplies and resources to help them SURVIVE this tragedy.
Across the country, Chiropractors are engaging in an in office fundraiser to acquire the funds needed to purchase supplies including food and water. We have mobilized a team of 60 + humanitarians to travel to the Dominican Republic in March 2010. We will go to the now swelling Haitian Villages to ensure that they have the supplies necessary to handle the increased mouths to feed.
If you can recognize how fortunate you are to have what you have even on your worst day and feel the need to GIVE BACK, join us by either making a donation or requesting a POSTER to display in your office and invite your friends, families and patients to help us make a difference in their lives in the name of proactive and preventative health care.

Thank you for your humanity and respect.

The Big Idea:
by ChiroMission C.O.O and Educational Director Dr. Aura Tovar
Two years ago, I was lucky enough to attract into my life the challenge and opportunity to be part of such beautiful vision as ChiroMission. My initial encounter was by chance and extremely life changing for me, therefore by a series of expressive motions on my part, and a good argument on theirs I was happily convinced and ended up with the responsibility and joy of being their Educational Director and Company’s COO. For me it has been a precious two year journey where I have seen first hand the life changes we are making in these beautiful people’s lives as well as the miracles experienced by all the participants of our trips.
Every time we go and show up BIG with our team of 50+ doctors and volunteers, we do make a difference in their lives but our true goal is to impact the communities we visit way after we are gone. It is my job to better educate all the leaders in the communities and villages as well as the mass media on the benefits of Chiropractic care and the philosophy of an inside driven innate intelligence. Just imagine the possibilities of miracles, if with our constant presence and repetition of the message they will actually get the “BIG IDEA”. What changes will constantly happen in their daily lives even if we are not present all the time? Without taking away from the miracle of one adjustment and the results that it may have in one’s life, my dream and focus is to do the great lasting deed of education in their life that would help them make better decisions for themselves and their families in the future.Just imagine a single mom of 4 (which is very common), with one or two of her kids sick with the flu or ear infection and she needs to take care of it for as we Latin people believe, if you don’t stop it , it will spread to the others. If I was able to teach and reach out to her or one of her friends and she understood the body’s innate ability to heal, she would just replenish and monitor her kids bodies without the need to have to run to the doctors (which is complicated enough) to spend money she does not have on drugs she does not need. By educating a village we are in turn saving them money and improving their quality of life even way after we are in the comfort of our good lives.
I believe in our mission and vision and know that there is a lot of work to be done still, but with persistence and patience we will make a bigger difference, and Chiropractic will take credit for changing lives in yet another country. I am forever grateful for the opportunity that has been giving to me and opened my eyes wider to such world dilemma. I know my entrance was not by chance but I am certain it will be there for many years to come. Gracias chicos, los quiero y aprecio mucho.
Besos,
Aura
