After years of raising funds and support for others, Michael “The Rainmaker” Nebeker — a man who has generated more than $100 million for a variety of humanitarian causes over the past four decades — has reversed field.
Now, he’s doing it for himself.
His story is a case of one good thing leading to another. Mobile Surgery International — the nonprofit he started three years ago — is a direct result of the many years he spent watching U.S.-based medical nonprofits fly in doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, medical equipment, et al., to developing countries, where they would set up shop in the wing of a local hospital and deliver as much help as possible before returning to America, usually after a week or two.
