Costa Rica Vet Experience

This was my second time going on a VIDA trip, this time I went after just having gone through a breakup a couple days before. This experience gave me another purpose while I was dealing with the emotions, it gave me a community of friends and leaders who kept me smiling and laughing when it would be really easy to just be down. Being able to help communities that had little basic needs was super impactful to me and made the emotional stress fade as I started to realize that those people were so happy. Seeing the smiles of our patients owners as they received their pet back was so rewarding and I wish everyone could experience helping others like that. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive both in the clinic as well as outside.
