    Story

    Hello there, I'm Vicente and I'm from Mexico.

    The situation in Mexico still in a critical state and it'll stay like that for some time. The affected people are not just in Mexico City (which all the media has been focusing on) but also in other small towns and communities, hard to reach with a lot of demolished houses and buildings. At the moment there is the need to get food, drinking water, safety gear, tools and medical supplies to these places.

    I have family members and friends doing what they can to help and the general solidarity in the whole country it's been overwhelming. However from my side it has been utterly frustrating to not be able to help directly from here. For this last reason I want to ask you to show your international solidarity and donate something to the cause, every single penny helps.

    The easiest way to get immediate help to were it's needed would be to get donations directly to someone in Mexico to buy the supplies that are required. I've been asking money around on the streets to send immediately to help out. Unfortunately however, I have just noticed that this crowd founding service wont let me get access to the funds until the 5th of October. Keeping that on mind, this money will help for medium term aid. I'll be transparent and show how much money has been sent and to who, after the situation in Mexico is less hectic I'll ask for the receipts to show you what was bought with your donations.

    Please look at the updates below regularly to see what has been bought with the donations that I've been sending.

    Thank you very much, your help is inspiring.

    Love!

    Vicente Ridaura-Harvey

      Hey there everyone! thanks for all the support. I finally decided where to send the money to. I got a few friends in a collective that are right on the front lines helping everyone they can in small communities in the state of Morelos. They are organising provisions of different kinds and they started reconstructing some hoses in this communities. I'll keep this page for people that are interested in keep helping, at the end the work it's just starting now. Thank you everyone! So far we collected £1039.25!!!!!

      Now i have access to the funds! I've been investigating where to send the money for this medium term help. I have a few friends that have some projects in the go, so i was thinking in dividing it. One of the projects is constructing temporal housing with cheap easy to get materials for the people that lost everything. Another project it's to send food and medicine to remote areas in the states of Morelos, Puebla and Oaxaca. No wirries I'll let you know what your money is use for. Thanks everyone that helped getting this sum. Vicente.
