The McCormack Foundation works in Chiriqui to bring in 40-foot containers holding hospital beds, wheelchairs (including specialty wheelchairs), oxygen concentrators, and other durable medical supplies, which are donated to various clinics and other organizations that need them. They also bring in donated prosthetic arms, legs and feet which are reworked and adjusted and given to those individuals who need them. All of these things -- and more -- are collected in the States and brought down especially for the people in Chiriqui.
Rubi Cianca, the local representative of the McCormack Foundation, is nominated for the TVN-2 television station "Heroes Por Panama" award. Please! Go to the link in this email and cast your vote! Winning would mean the Foundation could purchase the special equipment needed to more perfectly fit the prosthetics to their clients.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for Rubi Cianca and the McCormack Foundation.
