ALPINE, Utah — This may be one of the larger Christmas presents given in north Utah Valley this year.
A donated ambulance stuffed with donated medical supplies was expected to leave Alpine this morning, heading to a small town in Mexico.
For about the past decade, developer Will Jones has been traveling to South America as a volunteer with the Hirsche Smiles Foundation to help thousands of youth in Guatemala and Mexico. The team performs surgery on children who would otherwise grow up with birth defects that are routinely repaired in the United States.
Recently, it came to the attention of volunteers that a hospital in the area of Cuauhtemoc, Mexico, needed not only an ambulance but the equipment routinely used inside the ambulance. Jones decided to make it happen.
