If you mean Saul Davis, yes, Pat Llewellen reached him by phone yesterday. She was getting info regarding her husband, Hugh. Don't know details of their conversation, but they did get connected. By the way, Hugh and the dogs are fine.

Dos Angeles Update Wednesday 8am


Good day to all Angels, Amigos and Amigas ..

Just spoke with Bruce R. Leech in Mulege (for anyone that is new to the board) .. things are really taking shape and he sends great thanks to all for their prayers and support ..

Mexican helicopters brought in food and some supplies yesterday. More expected today. More areas are getting electricity turned back on.

He is amazed at how quickly they are receiving assistance.

More sections of the road (north and south) should be open today/tomorrow.

Bruce stresses that what is needed now is not necessarily what will be needed when folks come in two weeks.

The Fire Dept asks for sturdy ROPES.

Bedding/Camping Cots/Air Mattresses
Clothing - tho Bruce says for the children we know all sizes are needed - he pointed out that cooler weather is coming.
Shoes/Sneakers
Cooking equipment - Camping Stoves/Pots/Pans/BBQ Utensils
Canned Good/Can Openers

Our plan is to begin shipping from Tijuana. As we have done with Bruce previously boxes/totes will be filled with supplies and shipped via the trucking company we use. They are reliable and dependable. It will take 2-3-4 days for things to arrive in Mulege.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated by everyone organizing a relief effort - please send what you can.

Remember "Its a Wonderful life" with Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed? Ding Ding Ding - Angels get their wings everytime a donation is made.

Much Baja Love
Lori Garcia "cabomagic" and Linda Evans "futurebajaretiree"

Thanks Bruce!

Bruce I am going to put all funds I receive for "Warm Jackets for Cold Kids" to go to the Victums of Mulege.

How Can We Connect with Your TJ Efforts??


Thanks for all your great coordination efforts. I work at a English school in San Diego and my students have been donating clothes so I would love to connect with your trucks leaving from TJ. I also posted about letting the SD Union Tribune writer Sandra Dibble know about Mulege relief efforts. Would it be OK for her to contact you about the efforts that you are coordinating?? Thanks for any info and I would be happy to get stuff to TJ or let me know what is the best way to assist...

BBP and flying sams step up!!


this just in off the BBP hi-speed travel/info wire:

Red Cross Requests Assistance for Mulege. - 9/5/2006


The Red Cross today indicates that things are critical in Mulege and the town needs help.



They have requested the BBP?s help to ferry water and food into Mulege. They are contacting the state of Sonora?s Red Cross and are trying to stage supplies in either Guaymas or Hermosillo so that it is a short flight into either El Gallito or Palo Verde.



BBP admin will be posting and alerting again as information is firmed up.



Please call or e-mail if you can be of assistance, what type of aircraft you have, and when you can leave. We are requesting from Mexico City that all landing fees be waived during this airlift. Guyamas cannot waive these fees locally as the emergency is not in Sonora.



480 730 3250

csmith@bajabushpilots.com



Addditionally:



BBP is in contact with Diana Johnson who is in Mulege. She indicates that there have been no relief supplies as of today, that her dad (Don) who is in TJ is sending water tomorrow via truck.



The critical needs are liquids and canned food, clothing is secondary.



We have about 8 aircraft who have indicated they can ferry supplies into Mulege.



If the Red Cross has not firmed up the supplies by 1:00 today, BBP staff will purchase water in Phoenix and go on down.



the Phoenix Flying Sams indicates they will have five aircraft in Guaymas on Friday and they can also ferry supplies.



About half of the rooms on the river side of the Serenidad were flooded included the four houses in the back. The strip, at this time is washed out on the north end. People are out there trying to fill in the hole by hand so that it can be used.



Water was up to the steps of Don Johnson?s house downtown, most of the shops around the square were flooded.



And, they are requesting that there be no tourists. It is more important to have another 20 gallons of water than another person to use up needed resources.

At a business meeting this a.m. with some local professionals that I work with here in San Diego, one of these people mentioned to me that if there was an established relief organization being used, that her place of business was seeking another charity to support (I believe she indicated up to $10,000 U.S.) and could possibly be something they consider. She indicated that the decision would need to be made possibly as soon as today or tomorrow.

While I am reviewing various postings - I haven't read everything here, and would like to know if we have any sort of reliable, non-seat-of-the-pants relief organization in place to assist that might fit this requirement to get this company involved - and that I can present to her.

Looking for help here in presenting something they could realistically consider.

Dos Angels? BBP? Rotary? Help me here.

Thanks.

Doug

Doug, the rotary in Santa Rosalia has stepped up to the plate and perhaps they would be the most logical entity to set up and disburse monies. The phone numbers are on previous posts and the Rotary in Mulege is a very active orginization who would also logically become involved

We're driving up tomorrow with donations of food from the people of Todos Santos. It may take us until Friday to reach Mulege.

Where do we deliver???

Is it possible to post a single message with 1) brief summary of what happened and damage), 2) what is needed, and 3) what the various donation groups are that people can go to. I suggest this be posted with a sticky at the forum top and locked. Only the admin can give updates as needs and status changes.

I can't follow all the postings and tell who is on first. I think we need a little organization. For example, I was going to send people to this board, to understand what happened, what is needed, and where to give. But I have no clue where to point them for precise information without weeding through nomad scabbles and the like.

JZ - I was thinking the same today
I had the same problem with people asking me for infos and donating stuff and pics to be found for broadcasting as well.
Everything seems to be scattered around and not to be found when needed quickly.
Like a DONATING Thread, a INFO Thread for those looking for someoneand passing on messages to people without connections, And a NEWS Thread with comments on the Situation and Photos
Doug?? can this be set up somehow?

If somebody here would like to put it together, I'd be happy to post it that way. I would require assistance however, as I have my hands very full just keeping this site available right now.
