So we don't all forget
This month or however long battle on here started over the health of a little boy. Aaron Rochin. 11 years old.
I was asked to seek help for assistance with possibly major expenses for Aarons heart condition by his parents and family. A neighbor (Bedo) also
asked me to post pictures of Aaron and received permission from the parents.
Everyone down south knew exactly what I intended on doing especially the ones that have made these insinuations.
A week after I posted and was receiving more support than I ever imagined, Tucker started making insinuations/accusations? without ever offering
help when he was first aware of the problem, or offering an alternative if it were true that I am just trying to steal money or whatever he is
suggesting.
We parted company shaking hands in person. He has allowed me to stay there on numerous occasions. I in turn have done a number of things for him
including introduce him to the mechanic mentioned in another post.
I have been spending a LOT of money for the past two years helping, teaching, learning, documenting, fixing vehicles, and trading with the locals
down south. I am not asking for credit for any of this but rather give thanks to the many who have helped.
I would basically like to see all the adventurous folks do this as it is really fun and you make incredible friends while seeing incredible sights.
Nevertheless, the Rochins and I are fairly close although I have only known them for about a year. We do lot's of things for and with each other
and will be working on the bamboo project together.
For someone to accuse or insinuate that I shouldn't be trusted, in public, over the health of a little boy and a family this person has never met
has put me in not so good of a mood. I apologize for the outbursts.
And these people refuse to talk to me in person through emails but prefer to publicly make accusations with no evidence or offering alternatives.
All this has done is hurt Aaron.
I have been working through bilingual people on insurance, specialists if needed, trying to get them money, helping with school stuff from some very
generous people, getting an account set up for the transfer of money, and putting the family in contact with some influential friends in La Paz.
I will continue to do so as I said I would.
I just hope that the others who accuse me are putting at least as much effort into helping him as they are trying to make me look bad.

I don't understand your insistance on not
letting this thing go. All I have done is help monetarily and physically. I have and will continue to furnish lodging to their chauffer when
necessary.
I have asked you several non-inflamatory questions that you discern to be attacks. They are not, they are only requests for information.
You have been extremely hyper-sensitive and secretive. I am continuing to help as I can, but my job description doesn't include being abused.
I have nothing further to say to you on this subject.

Yes, I tend to get a little
"hypersensitive" when I am accused of something but as far as secretive, I have posted all pertinent information I recieve from the family. Que mas ?
Aaron needs 2500 pesos more for an electrocardiogram. Anyone that wants to help that thinks I am dishonest with their money can now deposit it
directly into the Banamex account. Sergio Luis Rochin Lucero, Acct :# 5177 1253 6006 7897.
Please let me know though so I can inform Sergio. Thanks everyone.
Every dime sent goes into their account and yes, we contributed ourselves!

Does this mean
You won't be sending a donation to help Aaron ?
