Sometimes it’s not easy to ask for help, especially if you are a 28 year old competitive male that has a history of trying to do everything himself. In this post, I am putting my instinct aside and am asking for a helping hand for those that can offer some assistance.

My wife, Kara, and I are heading to Yamasa, Dominican Republic for a week long volunteer trip to help those who cannot afford any type of medical treatment. We will be traveling down March 19th with a group of Audiologists and nurses who will be fitting hearing aids and providing medical treatment. This is the first time I personally have done anything like this, and I really don’t know what to expect.

I am planning on documenting the entire trip to see where this experience takes us. This is where I need help. I have some experience with shooting photographs with my Canon t2i DSLR but do not have a great amount of experience shooting video. I’ve put in my research but I am finding the more I dive into it the more accessories there are to make a professional quality video. Right now all I have is a very cheap tripod, the camera itself and a decent lens. If you can lend a follow focus, external mic, camera rig, or anything that you think can help me document this experience it would go a long ways.

I hope this post finds the right eyes and that you want to be a part of the journey. The people receiving the hearing aids and medical kits will surely make this worth while. If you have any questions about the trip or can help out in any way, please leave a comment or contact me.

Thank you so much for reading this post and if you don’t mind “liking” this to the right of the page it would help spread the word!
