RAFFLE 2 - caj13 is the winner! Welcome to La Bocana!
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. This 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 $30,000 pesos for this hearing aid. I believe they have already saved $5K.
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 3 days in our luxury suite for $75. That is a $150 dollar savings and the
chance to do a great thing, who could ask for more?!
Please pick a number from 1 to 10. 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 10 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 and videotape the event if I can.
Here is our webpage so you can see the room, it is the first one shown and it really is gorgeous. Click on Baja Bocana B&B

Here is the video of Ignacio at the clinic:

caj13 Go to any store that sells money orders - be it post office, Walmart, Smiths ..
No banks accept cash deposits to an account unless it is your own account and they charge for that service too.
Thanks Blanca

Bob and Susan, when was tht? was it Wells Fargo? the teller made it sound like it was a new WF policy?
I had USA dollars at a wells fargo Bank in Fresno Ca. perhaps your daughters account was linked to yours? I have no idea.
so if I go to the trouble of getting a money order - made out to Blancas mom, will the bank accept that? seems a bit more dodgey than cold hard
cash? and if they don't take it, then I have a money order made out to someone else on my hands? so do I need to go back and stand in line again
and ask for clarification?
as much as i hate paypal, an account could be set up, linked to blancas moms wells fargo account, and she could transfer money back and forth
seamlessly, for no cost, and she could accept either bank deposits, or pay pals?
I just hate wasting all this time driving around town trying to find a backdoor solution to a stupid bank policy!
remember all those adds how Wells Fargo is "recommitting" to customer service - yeah - I call Bull sh#$t

Speaking to/from my experience in Palm Springs, Ca, Palm Desert Ca, Eugene OR and Las Vegas NV --- For several years now, Chase, BofA and Wells will
not accept cash deposits to any account you are not on.
I cannot comment about Bob and Susans experience.
Edit: Bob if a neighbor is putting cash in your account, there must be some sort of relationship or understanding to break the rule/s. WFargo now
charges to accept 'large amounts' of cash for deposit in a business account. (I don't know the definition of large amounts sorry)
You can call Wells Fargo 1-800-869-3557 or you can google the exact address of the branch you went to get that branch phone.
Don't fill out the money order until you get to the bank .. that way in the (unlikely) event they still refuse your deposit, you can return to the
place of purchase and tell them it was not accepted for deposit at Wells Fargo and they can refund you.
I hope this works for you.

Up until about a year ago, I was able to deposit cash into my son's account at Chase Bank. Suddenly, they said no more cash and it was the law for
all banks. (My bank, Union Bank still allows cash)
Anyway, they would allow me to deposit money into his account using my Union Bank Debit card. They said they could do it that way because it leaves a
paper trail. I don't remember if they used by debit card as a debit card or as a credit card because it is both.
So, cash was not okay, but the debit card was okay and the funds were available immediately.
Good Luck

Until about one month ago, wells fargo accepted cash and now it doesn't any more, unless it is into you own account.
I am guessing this is to avoid money laundering????
My sponsors use ZELLE - it is an online service. So sorry for the long wait at the bank!!

I have never had a problem transferring money that I have in my Wells Fargo account to another one with WF, or another bank.
Blanca, you met my dog Bailey, If she is allowed in one of the six rooms I will do a test transfer and get a number! I will look for a U2U with
account info....or not!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Wells Fargo has indeed changed things! I would still be able to transfer funds to the authorized recipients I had before they went to Zelle, but I
have not been able to add your San Diego account without more information. See your U2U inbox please.

The debit card is a wonderful idea. I never thought of a paper trail.
Bill pay is another.
I think for the zelle you need my email and the account #
portella.blanca@gmail.com
and I will send account via u2u to whomever needs it.
Maybe because of our atrocious internet service, I have not been able to transfer funds from paypal into my Mexican bank so that leaves me stranded.

Blanca, my idea is you link pay pal to the existing account you use at wells fargo. so you could move any paypal money to the wells Fargo account
for free, at that point, it would be business as usual
