Cabo Magic Dos Angels Update 11pm Wed
Wow - what a remarkable response from some remarkable caring people - we are proud to be part of what has been achieved in a short period of time.
As Senior Nomad Amigo Bernie Swaim often says "Baja is about people helping people" .. I hope I got that right Bernie ?
Thank you for understanding we were not expecting the overwhelming response .. again wow.
At this time we are established with avenues of distribution from Cabo San Lucas and Tijuana for supplies already purchased and/or to be purchased
with donations in receipt. Everything will be given directly to the Padrino of each parish for direct distribution to his parish. The Padrino in CSL
has agreed to directly administer with us to be sure everything is given to those who have no means to otherwise obtain these necessities.
We are all touched by the kind things written to us .. and about us ..
Tragedies always have and always will bring out the best in most people .. and inspire action.. The contribution of any and all amount indicate
peoples hearts are touched and the response is saying things that perhaps our eloquent nomad amigo Mike Humfreville can put to words.
This has been an opportunity for everyone to give what one is able to with the greatest of intention ? words do not do justice to express what all
this giving and caring has meant.
We are not asking for more donations at this time. Any already sent and/or subsequently received will be recognized with thanks and the funds will be
allocated to purchase additional supplies or returned to sender.
For those of you who have posted our information elsewhere we ask that you please update your groups and boards. To you we personally give our
thanks. Your actions have made a difference. Pam Bolles you are an incredbile human being blessed with many talents and endless energy.
Sharksbaja bravo amigo your efforts are noble indeed!
We pray we will not have another event requiring this type of action ? but you can be sure that if/when we were faced with one we will again snap to
action.
We applaud those who do this for a living. Relief organizations require tremendous attention to details to be sure nothing goes astray. We have no
plans to establish a legal entity to further DOS ANGELS Hurricane John Relief Effort. Our past endeavors and relief efforts have been solely funded
by us personally.
Tommy & Lori Garcia and Linda Evans

Bernie got that "spot on"!
This unfortunate event will work to stregthen the bond of those who cherish, respect, and value the culture within our role in Baja.
You should receive accolades for your off the hip response to the disaster Cabo.
As this sagas continues we will forge a better understanding of what this other place is and does.
I would say I have been humbled by this experience but not anything like the hero(es) of the day in Mulege.
A kind and keen gesture has been shown by those willing to sacrifice what they can for the betterment of our brethren.
Whatever you do give will help.
----
Bruce and his family, Marv and Kathy, Pam and Randy, Nena, Roberto and the guards, so many online, the courageous firemen and the citizens alike
fought to help and save others.
Kudos to you all for the help given in The Orchard and Mulege.
I tip my hat to you.
With that said there is so much ahead that is not visible easily. Many have offered assisstance tho I would suggest it be prudent for non-residents
tourists to consider the reason for visiting at this time or in the immediate future.
Again Cabo, good on you guys!

Speaking of the fact that Baja is about "People helping People" would you please explain how to get money down to you to help those in real need.
Thanks for what you are doing for the folks who are really hurting.
My smidgen of a claim to fame is that I have had so many really good friends. By Bernie Swaim December 2007

Don't you believe that the Katrina Responders wish they could have had a small percentage of the reponse that was shown to the victims of Hurricane
John. My hats off to Tomi and Lori at Cabo Magic, San Marcos Mike and the COMSA mine at San Marcos, Sharksbaja from his website, the Rotary Clubs of
Mulege and Santa Rosalia and all the others who pitched in and did what they could do.
