Mike, Laurie, Cristina and Emily Echevarria paid a special visit to the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay on January 3rd. Near the end of 2013, the Echevarria Family Foundation let the Crisis Center know the foundation had decided to join other organizations like Parks Motor Group in sponsoring a TransCare van. They stopped by to present a check and celebrate with a picture in front of the van.

In addition to providing ambulance and 9-1-1 service, TransCare operates a fleet of transport vans that help people who require special assistance to be transported to crucial services like medical appointments, kidney dialysis, and wound care treatment.

The commitment of the Echevarria family and many others in the community make it possible for the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay to respond to over 160,000 calls for help each year. If you or your foundation or company is interested in sponsoring a TransCare van, contact Sandy Mclaughlin at smclaughlin@crisiscenter.com or at 813-969-4987.
