Dear Alderman James A. Balcer,
My name is Ricardo A. Nunez, I was refered by Roberto L. Garcia on a request for donating vehicle thru the City of Chicago, as we all have a mission to bless others in need.
"Is our statement that thru donors like you all things can happen"
The consigne's name is: Centro de Salud de Jutiapa
Municipio de Jutiapa, Atlantida Honduras, Centro America Att: Dr. Walther Ramos Guevara lnst#+504-94713071
General Details:
The Municipal area of Jutiapa is very poor since most of it gets hit by real bad weather problems (too much rain makes the soil unsafe and not good for planting or farming). All the basic needs are very difficult to cover due distances and the terrain all around mountains, they are eight (8) health centers including the one where Dr. Walter Ramos Guevara works which between all these centers serves a third of a total of 34,000 persons in the area (approximate around 100 persons daily plus mothers going thru maternity).
From the many needs that they have, one of the priorities is the ambulance due to the difficulty transferring very sick patients to the Regional Hospital of Atlantida of the City of La Ceiba (most of these patients wait and won't go to the centers due to their very poor situation but doing that their lives are on high risk). The ambulance will be covering all the eight (8) health centers.

Saludes y bendiciones.
Me dirijo a usted muy respetuosamente para decirle que se de usted por la Dra. Ana Maria Canelas, soy el Dr. Walther Ramos Guevara y trabajo con el gobierno de Honduras en el Centro de Salud de Jutiapa, ubicado en el Municipio de Jutiapa, Atlantida. El Municipio de Jutiapa en uno de los, mas pobres del litoral Atlantico, determinado por las precarias necesidades basicas insatisfechas de su gente, hay ocho Centros de Salud incluyendo donde yo trabajo, se atiende a una poblacion de 34,000 habitantes y solo en nuestro Centro atendemos a un tercio de esa poblacion, aproximadamente 100 personas diarias entre poblacion general y embarazadas. De muchas necesidades que tenemos, una de las prioritarias es la de una ambulancia por la dificultad que tenemos para trasladar a los pacientes con enfermedades graves al hospital Regional Atlantida de la Ceiba ya que a veces no se van de inmediato si no que lo hacen cuando pueden economicamente poniendo en riesgo sus vidas.
Las mejoras hechas en la infraestructura de los edificios han sido por ONG o personas particulares las cuales han respondido a nuestras peticiones. La ambulancia no solo seria para nuestro Centro de Salud sino para los otros siete restantes o de otro cercano que la necesitara.
Sin otro particular.
