Upcoming Volunteers

Gwendolyn Szeligo, RN
is going to Ukraine
Traveling and volunteer nursing have been my passions ever since I began studying the art of medicine. I want to do what I can to be of use and aid others. I am excited to work with Global Care Force because I believe it will open even more doors for me to reach out and try to use nursing to help people.

Gail Hacker, MD
is returning to Ukraine
I look forward to returning to Ukraine with GCF in April to provide care for the wonderful Ukrainian people who have been victims of an unjustified invasion. Seeing the stoic faces, hearing the stories, and experiencing smiles, hugs, and tears is beyond description. Especially now, the Ukrainian people need to know that there are Americans who care about them as fellow human beings.

Leanna Stoufer, Volunteer
is returning to Ukraine
The war in Ukraine continues to affect people there every day. I am happily planning to return in April so that I can continue providing trauma support and care. Being part of the team providing care in areas where services are nonexistent fills my heart. Seeing the courage, resourcefulness, strength and compassion of both patients and teammates is humbling and powerful. I know that being of service in this way makes a difference, and I very much want to continue being part of this!

Robert Downs, PA
is returning to Ukraine
I am looking forward to returning to Ukraine to provide primary care to those in need. When I served with the Mobile Medical Team in two previous missions, I was impressed by the resiliency of the Ukrainians and the medical needs being met by Global Care Force. Many are displaced, others without running water and electricity in some villages, but they continue on with their daily lives. I also learned much about their long and rich cultural history as an independent country. I will be honored and thankful to return and apply my skills to help support them in their time of need.

Stephen Kineke, MD and Ann Schwanda, RN
are going to Ukraine
Ann and Steve have been asked to fill in for the May Ukrainian Mission and they agreed without hesitation. This will be their 3rd and 4th trips to work with our Ukrainian friends. These clinics are particularly important to Ann and Steve because they want the Ukrainian people and fellow clinical staff members to know that they have not been forgotten and they full-heartedly support them.

Roxanne Jones, RN
is going to Ukraine
Serving those in need is my “heart work,” my calling. Wherever my two feet take me is my “mission field.” I am grateful that I have been provided with the education and the desire to serve. This combination of education and service blend well for caring for those who suffer from health disparities.

Jimmy Williams, RN
is going to Ukraine
My name is Jimmy Williams, and I’m an RN with almost twenty years of healthcare experience, most of my nursing experience being in critical care. Throughout my career, there has only been one driving force: the desire to help others. I have followed the Ukrainian war response for the past few years and have tried many ways to help from afar including fundraising, clothing drives, book drives, protests, etc. However, as our leadership continues to stir fear and hateful rhetoric about the Ukrainian people, the desire to do more has burned hotter and hotter. Finally, I felt the best way to give back was to take my time and education and put it to use where it’s most needed: within the Ukrainian borders. I am happy to partner with Global Care Force for this amazing opportunity and ask for help in raising funds to assist with these efforts.
Global Care Force is committed to helping our partners in Ukraine. Global Care Force sends primary care teams, including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, EMTs, paramedics, trauma care specialists, and non-medical volunteers to communities in Ukraine.

Jeremy Jones, MD
is going to Ukraine
I am excited to join with Global Care Force in the Ukraine to help those who have been displaced by war and now lack access to basic medical care. I am impressed with the efficiency and clarity of mission of Global Care Force. I am personally excited about reconnecting with my sense of purpose as a physician by using my skills and training to assist those in need.

Eileen Flynn, Volunteer
is going to Ukraine
In March 2024, I went to Ukraine with Global Care Force and fell in love with the Ukrainian people. It was amazing to see their heart and compassion, considering what they are going through. I returned in October to continue the work I started in March and help in whatever capacity I can. If our presence there can provide some hope and relief to people who are exhausted, I want to be part of that team.

Mishel Muzychuk, PA
is returning to Ukraine
I am looking forward to returning to Ukraine in June. The stories of resilience and suffering I encountered on my previous trip left a lasting impact on me, and I am committed to continuing to help provide medical care to those in need.

Margaret Heller, PA
is going to Ukraine
I’m so excited for the opportunity to join a medical team providing health care in Ukraine this summer. I see it as an opportunity to use my health care training where it can make a real difference. Hopefully, my small gesture will be a positive light in someone’s world, and I know the experience will stay with me forever.

Inara Patton, Volunteer
is going to Ukraine
As a volunteer with Global Care Force, I’m excited and humbled to be able to help people in need. It is an opportunity to strengthen the bonds of care that all humanity shares and to build relationships with people of many nations and cultures.

Frank DiPelesi, Volunteer
is going to Jordan
From the moment I learned about the immense suffering and desperation of refugees fleeing ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. I felt a deep-seated desire to help alleviate some of that pain. With a background in mental health and trauma-informed services, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to join one of Global Care Force’s dedicated Primary Care Teams. In June, we will be traveling to Jordan to provide care for the refugees there. I consider it a privilege to serve and hope to make even a small difference in their lives.

Stephen Kineke, MD and Ann Schwanda, RN
are going to Jordan
Since GCF’s initial mission to Ukraine, we have been blessed with the opportunity to care for people in Ukraine, El Paso and Egypt. We are excited to continue providing medical care through GCF in Jordan. In each clinic we’ve worked, the patients’ ability to be hopeful and positive despite the hardships faced, has inspired us to want to continually return and volunteer.

Guy and Marilynn Fiocco, MD
are going to Jordan
Providers working with Global Care Force have sometimes described the experience as transformative. For us, as retired physicians, our experiences in Ukraine and the Southern Border with GCF have allowed us to renew the ideals of service that launched our careers as physicians. While volunteering, we are entrusted with a message of hope as well as the opportunity to use medical skills in providing compassionate care to patients who humble us with their patience and resilience. We have appreciated the camaraderie of the GCF groups, and are excited to work with our Jordan colleagues and translators in the well-organized mission of GCF.

Joan Braun, RN
is going to Ukraine
I am both very excited and very grateful to be a volunteer with Global Care Force. As a Registered Nurse, I wish to care for the Ukrainian people, doing my very best to help relieve their pain, both physically and psychologically. As a human being, I wish to convey to the men, women, and children that I will meet how much I admire their strength and endurance and to let them know how much they mean to me and that I care.

Quinn O’Reilly, RN
Is going to Egypt
I am deeply committed to using my skills to provide medical care to underserved communities around the world. Volunteering for Global Care Force, an organization that offers aid in areas of need, allows me to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives while contributing to the amelioration of global health. I am eager to be part of a team dedicated to bringing healing and hope to those who need it most.

I’m looking forward to offering not just medical care, but also encouragement and support to those going through difficult experiences in Ukraine. While our individual efforts may seem small, I believe they can multiply and contribute to a larger movement that makes a meaningful difference and improves lives.

Global Care Force has the experience and infrastructure to provide me with a safe and effective volunteering experience in Ukraine. I am confident that together, we can help people in these Ukrainian communities get the healthcare they need in difficult times.

Caleb Reynolds, Volunteer, and Lisa Reynolds, RN
served in Ukraine
We have participated in short-term mission trips to Eastern Europe in the past and fell in love with the people there. Because of family circumstances, we have not been able to return to this part of the world for some time. We are excited about this opportunity to again connect with our neighbors on the other side of the globe!

Robert Schneider, DO
served in Ukraine
I am volunteering to provide care for hurting and scared people in a war-torn country. With Global Care Force, we will go where nobody else wants to go and provide care that no one else is providing.

Richard Randolph, MD
served in Ukraine
Throughout my time in the developing world, I have often worked in conflict and post-conflict zones, and the suffering of the innocent there has motivated me to do all I could to help. I will have another opportunity to serve when I return to Ukraine to serve the civilian victims of this unjust war and to at least partially alleviate this suffering. Thank you for joining me in this service.

Robert Downs, PA

I look forward to returning to Ukraine to provide primary care to those in need. When I served with the Mobile Medical Team on two previous missions, I was impressed by the resiliency of the Ukrainians and the medical needs being met by Global Care Force.

Tyler King, RN
served in Ukraine
As a nurse, I am passionate about providing quality care to people in need. Witnessing the current events in Ukraine breaks my heart for the people there, so after learning about GCF and their work to help bring needed medical services to the Ukrainian people, I was eager to get involved. I look forward to serving the people of Ukraine through my professional skills as a registered nurse and am grateful for the opportunity to use what I love to aid those in need.

Brian Kaczmarek, RN
served at the Southern Border
I believe all people have a right to healthcare, and that’s why I am excited to serve in El Paso, Texas, in February 2025 to provide medical care to migrants seeking refuge in the United States. Many refugees fled from conditions of economic oppression in search of a better life and safety from gang violence, the drug trade, and human trafficking. Their journey is often long and arduous, without certainty of food, water, shelter, or support. Many arrive at the shelters with a variety of acute and chronic conditions that I will provide medical care for.

Joshua Donegan, MD
served at the Southern Border
In 2018, I did my first medical mission trip to Haiti and, most recently, Ukraine in June 2024. I have found immense joy in service, and I am looking to continue to serve at the border.

Jarneishia and Ronnie Goodson, Volunteers
served in Gallup, New Mexico
We believe God has called us to serve. As a result, our life’s mission is to be exceptional servers in everything we do. We set out to accomplish this mission with our time, talents, and treasures. The opportunity in Gallup, New Mexico allows us not only to use our time but also other skills we have gained that are unique to the work in Gallup, New Mexico.

Leanna Stoufer, Volunteer
served in Ukraine
I was excited to return to Ukraine in June! My experience in Ukraine in February was both powerful and humbling. I could see and feel the difference that providing medical and trauma care makes. We served hundreds of people, and their appreciation for the Mobile Medical Team was heartwarming. The need for ongoing services is very clear. I cannot wait to return in November!

Richard Randolph, MD
served in Ukraine
I have always felt called to help those in need through my career as the Senior Chief Medical Officer at an international relief organization, my church, and in my personal life. I see people in the Ukraine suffering due to the Russian invasion and I feel called to help. With my military background, I feel that I am one of the most appropriate ones to help.

Doug Amis, PA
served in Ukraine
November will be my third deployment to Ukraine since the beginning of this inhumane war. I look forward to returning to Ukraine and helping to the best of my abilities. The people of Ukraine are in dire need of the services provided by GCF and their volunteers. My PA career tract got started in 2004 with the tsunami in Indonesia. Since then, I have been on numerous medical missions with Global Care Force and other NGOs. In my experience, GCF does an excellent job in supporting their causes. I feel fortunate and privileged that I can be a part of GCF endeavors.

Mishel Muzychuk, PA
served in Ukraine
As a Ukrainian, I look forward to providing healthcare support and making a positive impact in my homeland. I am honored to serve with a Mobile Medical Team in November.
