  3. A Very Worthy Plea.

    I rarely post a request for charity unless I think the cause is a very needy one. I recently posted asking for a wheelchair for a young man who had been in a motorcycle accident and as a result he became a quadriplegic. I was wrong. He does have use of his arms. Since the previous post myself and my good friend Dr Juan Carlos Zavala have had a closer look at this young man’s life. We have asked the family for permission to post pictures of him and his families living conditions. Their home is rudimentary at best. The floors are earthen,bumpy and uneven which makes movement in his older wheelchair near impossible. In order for this young man to have a shower he has to be carried to the bathroom which is quite a distance from his room. His sister travels daily to the home in order to assist with his shower. This is a back breaking task. In spite of the 72 year old father working every job he can find he is only able to provide the basic necessities of life and unfortunately sometimes not even those The young man needs to use diapers but the family can not afford to buy them so a shower at least once a day is mandatory. After seeing their home we noted that there is an empty room beside this young man’s bedroom. It would be a perfect space to install a shower and a sink and would make life so much easier for this deserving family. Several generous members of our community have already stepped forward with donations
    Hope Wiley 1000
    Jim and Weezy Burgess 1000
    Donna & John Gillespie 2000
    Kelly Sorokolit 2500
    Dr Juan Carlos Zavala has gifted 10000 from his charity organization for the purchase of diapers This may seem like a lot but it will be set aside to buy diapers for years to come
    Our hope is to raise 25000 -30000 pesos to build a bathroom and to cement the floors of the home including a wheelchair ramp.
    Please dig deep into your hearts and your pockets. Please try to help to the best of your abilities. Any amount of donation will be greatly appreciated.
    Donations can be dropped off at the veterinary office of Dr Zavala at Javier Mina #38 Ajijic from 10-1 Monday to Friday. The office is behind Multiva Bank

    Also Ajijic is;
    The delegation that contributes the most to the Municipality in payments of Predial, Municipal Licenses, for commercial turns, urbanization licenses, payment of property tax at the time of selling or buying a house, payment of water supply and sewerage do that represents about 14 million per year pesos just for that concept. Ajijic is the hen of the golden eggs.
    But it does not have direct investment or 5 percent of what it brings to the Municipality in the above mentioned concepts, Ajijic has serious problems such as Drainage and Sewerage which is collapsed and many times goes directly to the lake without being properly treated that water, just by mention something.
    Ajijic is the magic of Chapala Lake Bank but only outward, inward only problems of services and mismanagement of public resource.
    That data was published some time ago and that same data was used in a campaign, about the 14 million resource seized by Simapa the water regulator body in the municipality. Only as true fact, nothing made up, obtained through the Transparency Unit.
