  Letter of Gratitude to CFHI from the Ecuadorian Consulate (San Francisco) 2008-07-20
 

As you may recall, in February 2008 much of Ecuador was devastated by severe and persistent rains that caused some of the worst flooding there in living memory.


The floods claimed the lives of dozens of people and left thousands more homeless. CFHI played a small part in alleviating the suffering by sending a container of medical supplies to Ecuador. This container was funded by the Rudolph E. Futer Fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County, a committed and longstanding CFHI supporter.


Please click on the link below to read a letter (in Spanish) we received recently from the Ecuadorian Consulate thanking us for our donation to the flood victims.
