Anyone interested in making a donation, please U2u me for a Mexican or American bank account. There will be a total of 3 dresses and they cost 600

I understand completely how important these life landmarks are. ESPECIALLY FOR GIRLS. Perhaps post a direct address where we can send funds? I have
some 'found', garage sale money I can throw in. I would have just peeed it away....
Thank you for bringing a small thing that is REALLY huge into the limelight. I will send a U2 anyway.
HUGS!

For anyone who is in Baja, I will get the school bankaccount # tomorrow.
If you are in the States, the money can go to my mom. I would prefer not to publish her address here .... thanks for understanding !

2 down and one to go ! any takers ? $50 and you will make a real difference at this school ! The dresses will be used year after year. That was my
suggestion when they wanted to"rent" the dresses. Wasted money to rent IMO, so much more savvy to buy !

Glad everything worked out. Just curious - the designs on the dresses - are they always like that? depicting - is that a corn stalk? What is the
significance of the dress designs?

OMG!
They look so happy, and I'm grateful for the chance to contribute to such a memorable cause. This is an important age for young girls as I remember.
Thank YOU Blanca, for the 'feel good' moment.
BIG HUGS,
M
