EP 22 T2: Speak up and defend the right to healthcare for those who cannot speak for themselves with Alex Gitungano | A Cada Paso | Gaby Alcala

A cada paso

Meet Alex, the visionary behind Justice Health Initiative, Inc., a non-profit based in Boston. This organization aims to extend holistic healthcare access to patients, particularly children worldwide with severe and rare diseases who lack treatment options in their home countries due to resource limitations. Alex's life journey began with personal hardships as a refugee, and his mother's selfless dedication to helping those in need inspired him to follow a similar path. He volunteered, cared for patients, and became the legal guardian of a young burn survivor named Leo, further cementing his commitment to making a difference. This passion led to the establishment of Justice Health Initiative, an official 501c3 nonprofit focusing on providing healthcare access to underserved patients with rare and severe orphan diseases, especially children. Now, Alex invites you to join him in this journey, emphasizing the power of collective support to change lives and defend the right to healthcare for those who cannot advocate for themselves.

Alex's journey is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of compassion. He believes that, as a community, we can achieve greatness by speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves and defending the rights of those experiencing poverty. Proverbs 31:8-9 serves as a guiding principle in his mission, motivating us all to join in and support the Justice Health Initiative.
