parasitology.

Tim Haffey
Tim received his BS in Biology from Houghton college and is
currently studying otolaryngology (ENT) surgery at Michigan
State University the College of Human Medicine. After he
receives his degree, Tim plans to pursue medical missions part
or possibly full time.
Upon his first trip to Crossroads in the summer of 2000, he fell
in love with the Haitians and was changed by them. “It was
that first trip to the DR that made me want to become a
physician, so when I returned to Houghton, I switched my
major from psychology to Biology so that I could go to medical
school,” says Tim. He has returned to Crossroads to continue
the good works he began approximately 9 times since and
continues to support the medical ministry by raising money to
stock the pharmacy with thousands of dollars worth of
supplies. One way Tim raises money is by importing Haitian
art work to the United States and selling it in local Michigan
coffee shops in MI.
