bdlngton Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I just returned to Mexico so was out of country during earthquakes. I would like to donate goods for victims. I have read about leaving donations at Manix and at the firehouse on the Libramiento. Are these places still accepting donations of goods? Is there a list of what is needed?

gimpychimp Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 A great alternative if you might consider it is to donate to the Carlos Slim Foundation where they will donate 5 pesos to every peso you send. It will be used to rebuild and help in many different ways. Its a great way to turn a 500 pesos donation into a 3000 pesos donation. http://telmex.com/web/especiales/fuerzamexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 These should keep you busy : MEXICO EARTHQUAKE RELIEF .... The Chapala Sunrise Rotary Club is collecting needed items for the earthquake victims and will be driving them down to Mexico City and ensuring the items go to the people and not the politicians or the criminals. What they need at this point is flashlights, batteries and lanterns, bandages, antiseptic, aspirin and Tylenol, and antihistamines for allergies. (They said No More Water, Thank You, due to the generous response from the public and vendors.) You can leave the lanterns, flashlights and new batteries as well as medicines, seeping bags, and dog food at Manix in Ajijic and enjoy a good meal too!! Don't worry about all the collections everywhere you go - the items are all going to the same people and places. And it will take months before many people will be returning to their homes, so the need for flashlights, canned goods, hygiene products, medicines, cleaning products and sleeping bags will continue through the rest of the year if not longer. And remember the thousands of animals now homeless Thank you for the outstanding response from Lakeside !! BOMBEROS TAKING EARTHQUAKE DONATIONS The Chapala Firefighters are receiving donations 24 hours daily at their station (via Libramiento). Digging tools, lanterns, flashlights, sleeping bags ... Canned foods with pop tops (stew, vegetables, spaghetti, soup ) ... Hygiene items (soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrush/toothpaste, foot powder, toilet paper, diapers) ... Medicine (Tylenol, Advil, Pepto Bismol, Benedryl), bandages, bandaids, antiseptic cream, cough and cold medicine, vitamins) ... Dog & Cat food. Those donations will be taken to the small towns which also were affected by the earthquakes and still have not received much help. Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------ I would check to see if this one is still needed: Was chatting with Dra. Lupita Cevallos last evening and asked her what she is in need of for her next trip to Morelos. Her reply: The most that the people need is shoes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and food! I would think they would need personal soap also. These items are pretty easy to get and are not exorbitant in cost. All items can be delivered to Integrity Clinic on the carretera close to TelMex. It will be a long time for these small villages to recover from the floods and other destruction. Please help...? Thanks... --------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo1 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I was just art Integrity today and they are still collecting donations. Don't know when she is leaving but she is also recruiting docs from her clinic to go down with her and help people with general medical care.
