Our Crowdfunding Groups
In January 2025, a dedicated team of 13 undergraduate volunteers from Timmy Global Health is heading to Ecuador on a medical brigade to provide essential healthcare to underserved communities. Led by students from Indiana State University, this brigade will bring healthcare providers from the United States to Ecuador, working alongside Ecuadorian medical students to deliver medical care, distribute necessary medications, and support public health initiatives that make a lasting impact.
Your contribution will help fund critical supplies like medical equipment, prescriptions, and other resources needed to meet the pressing healthcare needs of over five hundred individuals who may otherwise go without care. Every donation directly supports the brigade’s mission to increase access to healthcare, relieve suffering, and promote health equity.
Why Support This Brigade? Timmy Global Health’s mission is to empower students, volunteers, and healthcare providers to fight health disparities worldwide. By supporting this brigade, you’re not only contributing to the immediate health and well-being of those in Ecuador but also helping create a sustainable partnership that trains, educates, and empowers local communities.
Join us in making a difference! Even a small donation can have a huge impact. Thank you for helping us bring healthcare, hope, and healing to those who need it most.
Meet Timmy Global Health's volunteers from the previous brigade as they share their stories from the field, bringing critical care to communities in need. Learn about our everyday experiences—connecting with patients, distributing essential medicines, and making a real difference for families who otherwise lack access to healthcare. See how Timmy Global Health isn’t just an organization but a movement fueled by compassion and commitment to health equity and what it truly means to say, “I am Timmy.”
MEET OUR EXECUTIVE BOARD!
Ramsis Girgis: President
My name is Ramsis Girgis, and I am a junior chemistry major with a massage therapy minor. To me, Timmy is an opportunity to have an impact on the lives of people who truly need it. As an undergrad, there aren't many opportunities like Timmy that are accessible to me, and it's because of this organization that I get the chance to affect someone else's standards of living for the better.
Alsace Key: Secretary
My name is Alsace and I am a senior biology major and on the pre-medicine track. For me, Timmy means meeting new people and being able to further my skills to help those around me. Timmy has allowed me to develop/grow relationships and connections with people that I haven’t met before or that I have little interaction with. Timmy also means being able to experience and provide care to those in need, especially to those that are outside of the borders of the United States. Being able to learn about others’ experiences in Ecuador has allowed me to gain a true understanding of Timmy and the impact that the program has had on others. Timmy also means being able to overcome boundaries (both language and physical) to provide the necessary care to those who aren’t able to access it easily, showing the sincerity and compassion of Timmy and its members. Being able to witness these experiences firsthand has given me a true understanding of what Timmy means to me. It has allowed me to realize that I would love to dedicate my time and energy into showing future members what Timmy is all about.
Adrianne Rusch: VP of Finance
Hi! My name is Adrianne Rusch. I am a senior Chemistry and Pre-Med major from Vincennes, Indiana. To me, Timmy Global Health means helping those in need in my community and globally. Timmy is continually trying to make the world a better place, and while doing so, they open the eyes of their members to health disparities and other inequalities that cannot be seen in our daily lives. Timmy further impacts their members by making them better people. I have been on two medical service trips to Ecuador with Timmy, and the experiences made me a better person and solidified my goal of becoming a physician.
Pia Carino: VP of Marketing
Hello! My name is Pia Carino and I am a sophomore at ISU studying chemistry and pre-medicine. To me, Timmy has always been a place for opportunity. It gives both me and other students the opportunity to make connections and serve the people around us. In the short time I’ve been involved in this organization, I have already built bridges that will propel me to greater heights both academically and socially. Because of academics, it is easy to become very absorbed in one’s self, so Timmy for me is also a place where I can focus my attention on others and how I can help their needs.
Pierce Herbert: VP of Advocacy
My name is Pierce Herbert and I am a junior in pre-med double majoring in math and chemistry. Timmy is the time I spend with like-minded people who genuinely care about helping those in need. Being able to take an hour or two every other week to have fun and work with others to help obtain a common goal has been a stress-reliever throughout my college career. The true joy people express in Timmy is something I hadn't experiences before joining Timmy. The energy and excitement is present in every Timmy meeting, which means a lot to me! It makes you excited and eager to help underserved people, whose lives we consistently aim to improve.
Kaylan Galey: VP of Advocacy
I'm Kaylan and I'm a senior applied medicine major. I graduate in December 2024 and will be attending the University of Toledo for Physician Assistant School. Timmy Global Health means raising awareness and funds so that healthcare is made easier to access in areas of the world that are unable to get the proper healthcare they need. It is using the resources and knowledge available to us and spreading it to areas in need. A very small item or act of service can go a long way in someone’s life.
Luke Powers: VP of Fundraising
Hey! I'm Luke and I am a junior chemistry/pre-med major. Timmy has been an essential part of my life these last two years. I have met many other like-minded people through this organization, and I instantly connected our members. Timmy’s mission of providing health care to underserved communities worldwide is near and dear to my heart. Having a positive impact on people’s lives and helping those who cannot help themselves is also in line with my life’s mission. Overall, my experience with Timmy has meant friends coming together to work towards a common goal of helping those less fortunate
Elizabeth Marcolini: VP of Community Service
Hi! My name is Elizabeth Marcolini, and I am a senior biology/pre-medicine major at ISU. Timmy Global Health is a family to me. Being able to make a small difference in individuals' lives is extremely important to me. I love being able to take part in community service opportunities for the homeless, healthcare workers, nursing homes, and those who are less fortunate than myself. Timmy shares the same passions and goals, and allows me to push myself to be a better person and help others.
Yang Tai: January 2025 Brigade Trip Leader
