Text messaging charges will not apply, and the one-time donation will show up on their next T‑Mobile bill. The Orlando Health Foundation supports the Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) Level One Trauma Center. __Media Contact__ T‑Mobile US Media Relations [MediaRelations@t‑mobile.com](mailto:MediaRelations@t-mobile.com) Tags[Emergency Response](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/emergency-response)[Giving Back](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/giving-back)[Relief](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/relief) ## Related Stories [More Stories](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/stories) [![T-Mobile Joins America250 for Coast-to-Coast July 4 Celebrations](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/07/A250_July-4_1280x640_Hero-500x250.jpg) \ Un-carrierPress Release \ __T‑Mobile Joins America250 for Coast-to-Coast July 4 Celebrations__ \ July 02, 2026|6 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/t-mobile-america250-july-4) [![T-Mobile Supporting First Responders During Wildfires](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/05/Station-23-4_Hero_T-MobileSatCOLT-500x250.jpg) \ CommunityPress Release \ __Before, During and After: How T‑Mobile Shows Up for First Responders and Communities Across America at Every Stage__ \ May 19, 2026|7 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/how-t-mobile-shows-up-for-first-responders-across-america) [![T-Mobile drones and drone operation center, 2026](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/05/TMobileDrones2026_Hero-500x250.jpg) \ NetworkPress Release \ __Every Second Counts: T‑Mobile Advances a Stronger, Smarter, More Resilient Network for Americans__  \ May 05, 2026|10 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-advances-stronger-smarter-network-for-americans) [![T-Mobile Team at the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando, March 2026](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/03/T-Mobile-Emergency-Response-Team-National-hurricane-Conference-2026_Hero-500x250.jpg) \ NetworkPress Release \ __On the Front Lines of Hurricane Preparedness: T‑Mobile at the National Hurricane Conference (Updated 4/1)__ \ March 31, 2026|4 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/on-the-front-lines-of-hurricane-preparedness-t-mobile-at-the-national-hurricane-conference)
