lindaru Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 We want to let our readers and donors know that the Ancianita’s Home lost their source of water and that's why we're having a Matching Funds Campaign to drill a new well. The farmer who was giving them water from his well now doesn’t have sufficient water for himself. The home has been forced to buy 200,000 liter pipa trucks for 1600 pesos for their drinking water, bath water, etc. One truck only lasts the home for three days. We have told the Ancianita’s Home that we will try to raise money to pay for part of the new well. The home has cut back on baths, laundry, etc., but there is only so much they can cut back and still provide a hygienic environment for the ancianitas. If you can donate to this cause, you can donate directly via the Ancianita’s Home Pay Pal account at: https://www.paypal.me/ancianitas. If you donate, please also message Linda Rudisell-Hinesso she can track the Matching Funds. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Is this the same facility that used to be called Casa de Ancianos in Chapala? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 "200,000 liter pipa trucks"? The only pipa trucks I have seen are 10,000 liters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 15 minutes ago, pappysmarket said: Can anyone answer my question? No, Casa de Ancianos in Chapala was closed several years ago. This is a Nursing Home for very low-income women in Jocotopec on the south side of the lake. I found their Website and stumbled around until I found a map. Since it is called "Ancianitas Lake Chapala" this is not intuitively obvious. https://ancianitaslakechapala.weebly.com/meet-the-ancianitas.html https://ancianitaslakechapala.weebly.com/contact-us.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
