Upcoming Volunteers
Joshua Donegan, MD
to 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.
Brian Kaczmarek, RN
is going to 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.
Richard Randolph, MD
is returning to 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 Schneider, MD
is going to 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.
Stephen Kineke, MD and Ann Schwanda, RN
are going to Jordan
After serving in Ukraine, El Paso, and most recently Egypt, we are honored to be members of the inaugural Jordan Primary Care Team. As GCF volunteers, we have had the opportunity to provide medical care and support to those who need to know they have not been forgotten. We always leave clinics blessed by receiving more than we give and have come away with respect for the resilience, kindness and hopefulness of the people we serve.
Jennifer Prior, RN
is going to Jordan
It is with great enthusiasm that I join Global Care Force on a mission to Jordan to aid in the delivery of primary care to Jordanians and refugees. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide the highest level of health care to improve and sustain equitable health resources and reduce disparities within chronic and acute health care needs, intending to foster longevity in Jordan’s health care access. I look forward to learning from both the people I will be traveling with and the people I will be helping.
Caleb Reynolds, Volunteer, and Lisa Reynolds, RN
are going to 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!
Laura Ruble, MD
is going to Ukraine
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.
Margaret Amos, RN
is going to Ukraine
I’m looking forward to offering medical care, 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.
Moses Iyaji, RN
is going to Egypt
From a young age, I have felt a profound calling to serve those in need, and joining Global Care Force has been a dream come true. My motivation comes from witnessing what Global Care Force is doing in terms of transforming lives and restoring hope. This is a testament to the powerful work that this organization is doing through dedicated and talented individuals from all corners of the globe. I can’t wait to join the team as we come together to create a ripple of positive change to be felt across Egypt and beyond.
Guy and Marilynn Fiocco, MD
are going to Egypt
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 Egyptian colleagues and translators in the well-organized mission of GCF.
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!
Tyler King, RN
is going to 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.
William Norton, RN
is going to Ukraine
As an active Healthcare and Public Safety participant for over 37 years, I have been asked to respond to a different mission. I am humbly grateful to participate and volunteer with Global Care Force, firmly knowing this can be successful by aiding those in most need in Ukraine.
Taylor Cleveland, Volunteer
is going to Ukraine
I believe if you can help someone, you should. Everyone has human dignity, and each of us has some ability to help fortify the dignity of others in times of need.
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.
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.
Thomas Martin, MD
is going to Ukraine
I look forward to serving in the Ukraine so that I can be a contributing member to my team, live a balanced life and make a difference. I am grateful for the opportunity to use my decades of experience in medicine to help those in need.
Chris Adamson, MD
is going to Ukraine
I have served on several medical missions before and those experiences changed me in profound ways that have enriched my life. I look forward to volunteering with Global Care Force and am grateful for the opportunity to support the people of Ukraine through the donation of my medical skills.
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.
David Piatt, DO
is going to Ukraine
It has long been a desire of mine to perform medical missions work to serve those most in need. I am excited about traveling to Ukraine as part of a GCF team in April 2025 to do just that. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to serve God by serving others in whatever capacity I may be useful.
Volunteers Who Have Served
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
is going to 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.
Glen Dopp, APP
served in Egypt
I am so happy and grateful for the career I have. I was taught at a young age that it is important to give back to others in need in whatever way you can whether time, skills, or financial. I am passionate about helping people and volunteering with Global Care Force allows me to give back to others in need.
Doug Amis, PA
is going to 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
is going to 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.
Emily Stratton, DO
served at the Southern Border
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to partner with GCF. I felt privileged to work with the brave, resilient individuals along the U.S. border. Immigrants are the heart of this country, and it is an honor to serve them during this time of transition and to better learn about the healthcare issues they might face. As an ER doctor, I hope to bring my skills to treat all sorts of conditions these individuals might encounter and to support them on their way to a new life here in America. Healthcare is about helping others, so volunteering with GCF is one of the best ways to do just that.
Angie Whaley, RN
served in Ukraine
I was honored to serve with the GCF to Ukraine in October 2024 and December 2023. The people there are so amazingly strong and I truly felt like I was part of something so much larger than myself. God’s plans are so much bigger than my own.
Tara Stratton, MD
served in Ukraine
The resiliency and strength of Ukrainian people has been a great inspiration to people all around the globe. The struggles in Ukraine are far from over, and too many people continue to go without basic necessities including health care. I was very excited to volunteer again on a second mission with Global Care Force in October to provide high quality medical care to the citizens of Ukraine who have so little and have been through so much. It is an honor to be able to return to Ukraine to help these wonderful people in a time of great need.
Eileen Flynn, Volunteer
served in Ukraine
In March, 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.
Justin Sipiora, MD
served in Ukraine
I returned to Ukraine with Global Care Force in October 2024 because I believe in their mission to provide medical care free of charge to the people affected by the Russian invasion. I am inspired and humbled by the kindness, resilience, and bravery of the Ukrainian people I have met on my previous trips, and I was excited to return.
Jennifer Evans, RN
served at the Southern Border
I was very grateful for the opportunity to work with refugees at our southern border. We don’t get to choose where we are born. These are fellow human beings who have been courageous, leaving behind everything and everyone they’ve ever known in search of a better life. I feel a deep sense of obligation to use my professional skills to reduce as much suffering as I can for these brave people.
Alla Kapustina, PA
served at the Southern Border
As a physician assistant, I’ve always been driven by a deep commitment to healthcare. In a border city like El Paso, there is a constant influx of people who have endured long and often dangerous journeys. Many arrive with urgent medical needs, ranging from dehydration and malnutrition to chronic conditions that have gone untreated. My goal was to raise funds to supply essential medicines for those in need and provide physical support. By volunteering in El Paso, Texas, I provided care and offer comfort to those who are often at their most vulnerable.
Brian Cullen, RN
served in Egypt
I feel that those that can, should. If I have the skills or abilities to do something to help others, then it is my duty to help. I hope that if I or someone in my family should ever need help others would return the kindness.
Stephen Kineke, MD and Ann Schwanda, RN
served in Egypt
Since retirement, we have been blessed with the opportunity to use our skills to care for people needing medical care in Haiti, Central America, Ukraine, and most recently, El Paso. In each clinic served, the patients’ ability to be hopeful and positive, despite the hardships they faced, has inspired us. We have always received more than we gave. We are honored to be members of the inaugural mission to Egypt to serve people who need to know they have not been forgotten.

Quinn O’Reilly, RN
served in Ukraine
I was honored to volunteer in Ukraine in September to help care for some of the most burdened people right now. Our time is the most precious gift we can give to others: and I feel blessed to be able to spend time with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters.
Mila Buria, RN
served in Ukraine
I was born and raised in Ukraine and wanted to return to volunteer as soon as the war started. I prayed for the Heavenly Father’s perfect timing. My desire is to serve as Yahusha Hamashiach (the real name of Jesus Christ) has served; to love as He has loved each of us. It was a blessing to volunteer with Global Care Force in September! I was honored to have such an opportunity to bring hope, faith and love through providing care to people in need!
Debra Cuthill, APN
served in Uganda
I am thankful for the opportunity to have served in rural Uganda in July with the Church of the Resurrection, partner with local healthcare teams, and explore ongoing opportunities for medical and healthcare services at the Nana Health Centre, and mobile clinics through UCSS. I am blessed to have the experience as a Certified Nurse Midwife/Advanced Practice Nurse and appreciate the incredible impact and hope that medical services, both routine and preventative, bring to the overall health of the community that would not be able to access care any other way.
Cath Glennon, RN
served in Ukraine
I became a nurse because I have a heart for caring for those in need. It’s hard to sit on the sidelines and watch what is happening in Ukraine. I volunteered last December with the Mobile Medical Team because I wanted to help in any way I could. The need continues, so I returned to serve again in July. I urge you to please consider supporting me and future volunteers serving in Ukraine.
Daniel Brooks, MD
served in Ukraine
I was honored to play a small role in GCF’s ongoing support of the Ukrainian people serving with a Mobile Medical Team in July.
William Brown, Volunteer
served in Ukraine
As an undergraduate pre-med student, I was thrilled to volunteer with Global Care Force because I believe in their mission to provide compassionate care to underserved communities worldwide. Joining this dedicated team allowed me to make a tangible difference in people’s lives, fostering hope and well-being where it’s needed most. That’s why I volunteered in July in Ukraine.
Chris Kerrigan, MD
served in Ukraine
I made my home in Central Europe for medical school many years ago and they took me in as one of their own. I returned in July with a Mobile Medical Team to give back to a region that I have so many fond memories of.
Don Dunning, Volunteer
served at the Southern Border
I first learned of Covid Care Force (now Global Care Force) in 2021 during a sermon by Pastor Adam Hamilton of Resurrection Church. Since then, I have volunteered six times with Global Care Fore in Gallup, New Mexico, serving with Mother Teresa’s Sisters of Missionaries of Charity at their Saint Joseph’s soup kitchen and overnight shelter. I volunteered with GCF in June at the Southern Border in El Paso, helping to care for guests in shelters serving immigrants and asylum seekers. My joy comes first from seeing the appreciation in the eyes and words of those I serve.
Dylan Neel, RN
served in Ukraine
My parents instilled a powerful desire to lend a helping hand to those in need. Now, I have found myself in a position with skills to help those in need in Ukraine. I volunteered to help the people of Ukraine get access to healthcare in areas affected by war.
Joshua Donegan, MD
served in Ukraine
Caring for others has always come naturally to me. I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve others in need during troubled times, and thankful to Global Care Force for providing the chance to help others worldwide. I volunteered in Ukraine with the Mobile Medical Team in June and it truly was a transformative experience.
Oakley Franklin, Volunteer
served in Ukraine
Since February 24, 2022, I have had the most indescribable urge to help those in Ukraine. This senseless war must be condemned. The Ukrainian people need our help. With Global Care Force, I was able to go and help those who need assistance, and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity.
James Marcum, PA
served in Ukraine
I’ve always told my kids to treat others well and have no regrets about what you should have done. I am at the stage in my career where I feel I need to do more than sit on the sidelines and watch what is happening in Ukraine. I knew if I didn’t do something now and take this opportunity to serve, I would regret it. I could have donated money, but I have a skill that I can offer to help others who are seeing their country slowly being destroyed. That’s why I volunteered with the Mobile Medical Team in 2023 and returned to serve in June 2024.
