Filed under: About my Purpose and Mission
My name is Elizabeth Arroyave-Pitts, and in May 2007, I will be walking 500 miles in the Camino de Santiago in honor of my parents. This pilgrimage is a walk in faith that will take me from France to Spain in 30 days. Like my physician father and mother, who care for those in need, I ask that you support me in my journey by contributing to my workplace, Community Volunteers In Medicine (CVIM), a nonprofit organization that provides primary medical and dental care to the working poor. Eighty-four cents ($.84) of every dollar you donate to CVIM goes directly to patient care. CVIM receives no government funding or insurance reimbursement, and exists entirely through volunteer support and philanthropic contributions. Your generous donation will provide healthcare, hope and healing to thousands of hard-working individuals who need appropriate medical and dental assistance for themselves and their families. Thank you very much for your consideration and support.
