Desert Hawks Emergency Services extending to Cataviña... we request your help!!! *** Update ***
Hi everyone!!!
The Desert Hawks are adding more equipment. We need your help.
We will be receiving in the next couple of weeks the ambulances pictured below. One is a 2008 model, the other 2006.
Adventist Health/Tillamook Ambulance, Netarts-Oceanside Fire & Rescue, Outta Sight Racing (Paul Fornier) from northwest Oregon along with Baja
Rally (Scott Bloom) from San Diego have helped make this possible.
The units will initially be stationed at El Rosario. Desert Hawks Fire and Rescue (Bomberos y Rescate Halcones del Desierto) have been working with
the Ejido at Catavina and Rancho Sonora just south of Catavina to get a volunteer department started in their area. Once all that is completed and we
can get a basic Fire/Rescue station set up, we will move one ambulance to the Cataviña area. The other one we would like to have at the merging of the
upcoming Highway 5 with Highway 1 and/or in the Punta Prieta area. This will allow the Desert Hawks to respond faster to emergencies south of El
Rosario. When a life threatening injury happens we all know response time is of the most importance. It will also provide coverage for a large area
of the central Baja California desert that lacks basic health services.
To bring the units first to San Diego and then to El Rosario:
--- Oregon to San Diego: Including hotels, food, gasoline, and return airfare for the individuals bringing the units. It will also provide for
liability insurance to cover the drivers.... Cost: $ 2,400.00
--- San Diego to El Rosario and units setup:
The units will be registered in Mexico with the help of the Mexican Red Cross.
The units will be equipped with a digital 2-meter radio.
The units will be painted, as needed, with Desert Hawks decals added.
The units will be insured for the first year as now required by law and driven to El Rosario and completely outfitted to do medical emergency rescue
work.... Cost: $ 3,820.00
The total cost is estimated to be $ 6,240.00 of which the Desert Hawks have $ a little over $1,000.00 leaving us with a need of $ 5,240.00. We hereby
ask your help to raise this amount. We will now be able to effectively service up to 150 miles of Highway 1 from north of El Rosario to south Punta
Prieta.
We can receive your help and donations in any of the following ways:
1.- Online via PayPal.
2.- Online through our Facebook Page: Facebook.
3.- Sending a check to our US address:
-- Commitment, Inc
-- P.O. Box 178309
-- San Diego, CA 92177-8309
4.- In Mexico a direct deposit to our Mexican Bank Account:
-- Fundación Commitment International, A.C.
-- Banco BanBajío
-- Account: 15424492
5.- Or directly at BajaCactus in El Rosario.
Every dollar helps!!!
We appreciate the help and support that you have offered to us in the past... Together we can save lives!!!
Thank you / Muchas Gracias!!!

Dear Friends,
When we approached all of you for help with this project, we already had raised a little over $1,000 dollars from fundraising activities made by our
Desert Hawks volunteers... As of today with your support and some additional donations in a short time we have pushed this amount to a little over
$2,500 dollars.
We thank you for your warm support... Together we can save lives!!!

Ambulances in the way to San Diego...
Together we have raised enough to bring the ambulances all the way to San Diego. They left today from Tillamook, Oregon and will be arriving
tomorrow Tuesday (July 26th) around noon.
Once in San Diego we need to find a secure place to park and store them for a few weeks while the Mexican Government process and approves the request
to bring them across into Mexico.
We have until then to complete raising the necessary funds to bring them all the way to El Rosario.
Thanks to all for your support!!!

Just another small way to help...
To donate $25, stop at the Baja Cactus Motel and purchase a copy of my new book, Baja California Land of Missions.
Ten books were donated to help the Desert Hawks, and Baja Cactus has discounted them from $29.95 to $25. All are signed, as well.
A few copies of the previous book, about all the founding of California missions are also available, The Old Missions of Baja & Alta California is
discounted from $19.95 to $15. This income also goes to The Desert Hawks.
Thank you for helping!

Ambulances in San Diego...
We received the ambulances yesterday (July 26th) in San Diego. They are in excelent condition and the size and maneuverability are perfect for the
Baja Highways. Only one of them had some transmission problems on the way down from Oregon, we need to find what the problem is and fix it before
taking them to Baja.
In the meantime we will start the process with the Mexican Government to bring them across the border. This usually takes a few weeks. We will also
continue the fundraising so we can complete their trip to El Rosario-Cataviña area.
Woody... Thank you for the offer, we may need your help. Please check your U2U.
Our thanks to Tillamook Medical Service, Adventist Health, the Tillamook Fire Department, Paul Fournier, Scotty Bloom and all of you for making this
happen and being a part of our efforts.
Together we can save lives!!
