Taylor Hensley Open-Heart Mission

Dear friends and family,

In November of 2023, I will be traveling to Oraifite, Nigeria, to participate in an open-heart medical mission with the VOOM Foundation.Our team will utilize our expertise to train and educate the local cardiac staff at the Dame Irene Okwuosa Memorial Hospital. We will also focus our care on underserved patients and those who cannot afford the high cost of open-heart surgery.

In 2013, there was not a single facility in Nigeria where you could receive heart surgery. The VOOM Foundation changed all that by partnering with local hospitals and providing infrastructure, equipment, and supplies to start a local program. VOOM Foundation medical teams travel into the country several times a year with two goals...to teach and to serve a population that otherwise would not receive care.

I am really looking forward to serving in this capacity, sharing a smile, building connections and leaving a sustainable impact. 



If you feel called, I am raising funds to help cover the extra costs of travel, sourcing medical supplies, patient surgeries ensuring the the longevity of VOOM Foundation.   

With much love and gratitude,

Taylor
