Mexico is a lovely place full of wonderful people but unfortunately now it has been hit by several earthquakes and the places where I grew up have been seriously damaged.

When you hear your own family saying "I'm afraid" or "I'm terrified" this just leaves you with a freezing sensation in your blood. In Mexico we are used to earthquakes, so the people don't get afraid so easily.

I'm living here in the UK with my husband and we can't be there helping people that are not so fortunate, but our family is there and they are doing it! Because the places where damage happened were the places my whole family and friends are living, they are giving their time, money and effort and we just can't stand aside. For this reason we are asking to the people that know us and the people that can be understanding or sensitive with this situation to help us to raise money so we'll be able to send it over there and help as much people as we can.

If you prefer to donate to a specific Charity or organization, that will be great as well. No matter which decision you take, I am just thankful to be able to reach people here through JustGiving.
