🌍✨ Gratitude in Action: Mission Trip Recap – June 7–15, 2025 ✨🌍
We returned home with full hearts and renewed purpose after an incredible week of healing, learning, and connection during our Pediatric Orthopedic Project mission trip from June 7–15, 2025.
Thanks to the collective effort of our dedicated team—surgeons, nurses, therapists, medical students, and support staff—we were able to provide spine surgeries on 11 pediatric patients and 10 adult patients during our mission week. Two additional patients who were not stable during mission week received much needed spinal fusion surgeries several weeks after our mission. That’s 23 patients total!
Every smile, every small victory in the recovery room, and every hug from a parent reminded us why this work matters. These patients, many of whom live with complex orthopedic conditions, now have a brighter path forward—thanks to the collaboration between our volunteers and local healthcare providers who work tirelessly year-round.
🤝 This mission was not just about providing care—it was about building sustainable partnerships, sharing knowledge, and empowering local teams. We had several training sessions with local medical staff, ensuring that the impact of our trip extends far beyond our short time on the ground.
To everyone who supported this mission—whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word—thank you. You are part of every step, every suture, every success.
We’re already planning for our next chapter—and with your continued support, we’ll keep working toward a world where every child has access to the orthopedic care they deserve. 💙

The POP Team wishes to express its deepest gratitude to Roben Bellomo of Bellomo Studios for generously donating the stunning photograph gifted to Hospital Infantil Dr. Arturo Grullón in Santiago, our esteemed public children's hospital, during our recent mission trip. The photograph unwrapped by Dr. Alicia Rivas, the hospital's Director, holds special significance as it depicts a butterfly, symbolizing transformation, echoing our team's efforts.

Did you know a human spine has 33 vertebrae?

Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve in an “S” or “C” shape — often leading to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and breathing difficulties.

💡Stay tuned… we are building support one vertebra at a time.

Our Story

We started with yearly mission trips and have now evolved into a 5-arm model that includes FREE orthopedic surgeries for impoverished children in the third world (mostly for scoliosis), educating local surgeons and medical staff, equipping the local children’s hospital, sponsoring and bringing complex cases for surgery in the US. The surgeons we have trained are now doing cases independently and more importantly, training other surgeons to do the same. The patients we have treated are paying it forward as well, assisting us during our yearly mission trips. The parents of several patients have also helped out! We are unique in that we are totally volunteer run. NO ONE IS SALARIED. All donations therefore, go towards our efforts. POP is a non-profit {501 (c)(3)} organization
