I need a southern Baja angel's help

BajaBlanca - 10-22-2013 at 09:31 PM

So, there are a couple teens from La Bocana here in La Paz and they have some needs. Should you be able to help:

The girls have no hot water because some hose is missing on their outside water heater. If someone understands how these things work, lets coordinate for a visit while their mom is here til next week. Two boys also need their water heater checked out. All 4 live within 2 blocks of each other in the complex off od Camini Real here in La Paz.

Two of them are using busen burners. We need 2 used stoves donated.

2 of them could use some decent kitchen table chairs. And one of them needs a portable hanging closet. He has been living out of a suitcase since August.

These are great kids and they are busting their buns in college. One will become an attorney, ne will become a marine biologist, 2 major in international business.

Those are the most pressing items .... Obviously stove and heaters are the most important.

If you can cheer on or help, pls write. Otherwise, please dont rain on my parade (((:

BTW Ateo, your fridge did end up coming down to one of the guys and I have a pic of it. It is the hands down, the nicest thing in the apartment! THANKS. Pics to come in a few days.

Actually: 2 teens are from Punta Abreojos ( twin girls) and the 2 La Bocana guys live side by side, 2 blocks away from the girls.

Picture of the twins i. The middle, the gentleman on the left is Jaime Morales from Bahia Asuncion and he was the angel today. The girls' mom is next to them. The 2 boys also got a lesson on how to set up the water heaters and were given the material to go do their own.

Teaching these kids how to fish.

And the woman on the far right is Jamie's wife, Elide Arce Aguilar. Those two are the more giving people around----they are the best.

Have a fridge to donate if anyone is going that way , I am here in san Ignacio.

Ateo - 10-24-2013 at 06:43 AM

What a trip to see that fridge somewhere other than my office. Still has those funny stickers on them!! Thanks for getting it to them.

BajaBlanca - 10-24-2013 at 07:14 AM

Ys! elide is awesome!

bajame. yes yes yes. I believe it can get picked up this weekend, if that works for you. Please U2U me your .address and cell number, so as to coordinate.

Fantastico! Que padre! Wooot wooot

Ateo, I know the feeling.......when I went over to visit, all the decorations around the house were from our house and it was really an odd feeling to see my mirror of more than 20 years on the wall, my dishes in the sink etc.

They are in a good home now.

bajalinda - 10-24-2013 at 08:24 AM

Blanca - we have a 2-burner camping stove that that you can have. It uses a small propane tank, but we don't have the tank - they would have to get that. If that will work for you and the students let me know. U2U me or use regular email to figure out how to get it to them.

BajaBlanca - 10-24-2013 at 08:32 AM

Can you post a picture for me please? Just so I have an idea. Gracias.

jimgrms - 10-24-2013 at 09:20 AM

So good to see all the BN's pulling together for a good cause .

bajalinda - 10-24-2013 at 12:33 PM

Blanca - who are you asking for a photo? me (photo of camping stove)? or Bajame (photo of fridge)? or both of us?

see your u2u

BajaBlanca - 10-24-2013 at 01:04 PM

We talked, thanks Linda.

Bajame - 10-25-2013 at 10:39 AM

Nice to see the kids.
Glad school´s a success so far and their living issues are working out.
Keep on keeping on, jovenes!

I can be the pack mule

Blanca,
I'd be glad to run items down for you.
Arriving your place 11/06, after Asuncion.
And a few nights at Baja Linda's.
Arriving in La Paz 11/11 for the day, then turning back northward.
Here is the trip map JPG with details. Magenta is southbound. Green is northbound.
See you in a few weeks.
