Montecristo Relief Organization provides fund for wheelchair foundation

Monday, October 11 2010

(Tampa, FL) The Montecristo Relief Organization has made another in a series of substantial donations to the Wheelchair Foundation. This most recent contribution will pay for 110 new wheelchairs to aid the sick and injured in impoverished and storm-ravaged areas of Honduras.

The Montecristo Relief Organization was founded in 1999 by Altadis U.S.A. - a company with a reputation for treating its employees as family and giving back to its communities - after two devastating hurricanes swept through the Caribbean causing unimaginable terror and destruction. Over 11,000 people were killed, millions injured and millions more left homeless and without means of support.

Over the past 11 years, the Montecristo Relief Organization has donated millions of dollars to build homes, schools and medical facilities and provide scholarships and employment opportunities for victims of natural and economic disasters in the Caribbean and the United States.

Anyone interested in learning more about the lifesaving work of the Montecristo Relief Organization or making a donation is invited to call (800) 210-2783 or visit montecristorelieforganization.com.
