History

Prescribing Hope, formerly known as Students Without Borders Inc., began in 2007 when Bobby Malanga, who at the time was a sophomore at Cal State University Fullerton and frequent volunteer in Mexico, was asked to open a medical clinic in Jacume, Baja California. Asking organizations for support, the project was continually shut down because they either told him that the town of Jacume was too dangerous, too far away, or that opening a medical clinic would be too difficult. Bobby created Prescribing Hope because he believes that no idea is too difficult, too dangerous, or too much work when the outcome is helping people who are in need.

" I would rather live only one day, if I knew that in that day I could benefit somebody's life, than live one-hundred years and only live for myself." - Bobby Malanga
