RAFFLE 1 - Congrats Woody and Bia!
Hello all!
Last month, a plant lady named Laura from Guerrero Negro visited me. I hadn’t seen her in years and asked what was going on. She said that her
son Ignacio had been born deaf and that he was a handful. He is now 5 and it was only when he was 2 that they found out he was deaf. He is their
first child.
Laura told me that against her husband’s wishes, she had taken their son Ignacio to a hearing clinic in La Paz. She showed me the video of him
being tested at the clinic. It is moving how he grabs her face when he hears something for the very first time in his Life.
Both she and her husband decided to work really hard and save the $32,000 pesos this hearing aid.
After seeing them work so hard these last couple weeks with promoting their plants (and I bought plenty!!), selling food on weekends and selling
other household items (I donated a baby carriage), I have talked it over with Les and will have two raffles to raise money for them.
This is your chance to (re) visit us at a super price!! We are offering 4 days for $40. That is a $120 dollar savings and the chance to do a great
thing, who could ask for more?!
Please pick a number from 1 to 20. All deposits will have to be made at a Wells Fargo in the States or mailed to my Mom or at my banamex account
here in Mexico. Sorry, no paypal at this time.
The raffle will be a la Mexico style since we are in Mexico: all 20 numbers go into a bag and one by one the numbers are eliminated until the LAST
ONE. He/she is the winner. I will take photos/videotape the event if I can.
Here is our webpage so you can see the rooms: this raffle is for any room from 1 to 6. Click on Baja Bocana B&B:

Here is the video of Ignacio at the clinic:

When I talked with Laura and her husband weeks ago, they said they are not interested in operating but wanted this aid because it is external.
When I surprise them with this money the next time they come visit (I think it will be the 8th), I can run the idea of shriners etc. by them.
Actually, perhaps I will have them pick the numbers....I think I like that idea!
MMC your numbers are #4 and 5!

My deposit should already be in the account you have set up...put me (and Bailey) down for 14 please!
I updated my adventures with Wells Fargo and Zella money laundering on the raffle #2 thread. How many spots are left on that one?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
