Mobile Med.

     If I where asked what my dad does for a living I really wouldn't be able to give a good description.  He used to be a doctor and still works for the VA someway or another.  But what I do know is that every Thursday he volunteers for Mobile Medicare, a free clinic.  It serves low income patients without medical insurance.  It's based off of volunteers and very few paid workers.  Many of them are immigrants and don't speak English very well (if they speak English at all).

     Right now there are 26 organizations competing for votes on Facebook, Mobile Med being one of them.  Hyatt is giving $10,000 to the charity that gets the most votes.  Right now Mobile Med is 9 Charities down on the list and the voting ends December 31.

It's a long shot, and there are some other good charities on the list, but after hearing stories about people who have to take care of multiple sick family members, how overworked the staff and volunteers are, and how people are struggling to get by, I really think Mobile Med deserves to win the $10,000.
