Help for Manolo in Asuncion
See Shari's post for the details on our friend, Manolo's plight. We are all very concerned about Manolo and our son Ben, who is a friend of Noe and
Ismael asked if he could send some money to help them out with travel costs and accommodation for the family while Manolo is in La Paz.
We will be donating and will start off with a 1,000 peso ($100) donation from our family as Manolo and his family are really part of our Mexican
family. We know how little everyone really has down there and that the travel and food costs, loss of income, and incidentals are huge for such a
family.
I have some funds down there that we can provide in cash to the family to assist. Any one else interested in donating can do so through Pay Pal where
you can use paypal or visa through my son Ben’s account if they wish.
They have little and any amounts of donations will be acknowledged on the card given to Manolo’s family to help out. So if you are interested, follow
the procedures outlined below. No pressure, every dollar or $10 will help them out and be appreciated. This is not something I do ever, so it’s
pretty unusual but trust that the funds will get there.
I am a Chartered Accountant living in London Ontario, Canada and a sometimes resident of the Beach House in Bahia Asuncion. If you need more
information on me, u2u me and I will give you more individually. Also excuse my son's spelling error on Asuncion. For those that know me, Shari,
Diver, Bajagypsies, Bajaboy, Trotters, I think you know who I am.
Here is the link that you can donate through and again I know that the family will appreciate every dollar in their time of need. Just copy into your
address and it will take you to a link for my son's account with Paypal. Thank you for your assistance and keep your prayers and good wishes coming
for Manolo and his family.
If I have done something wrong with requesting this, on this site, please forgive me and let me know. please forgive me and let me know.
The administrator can contact me for questions.

Thanks Mike
We will give it a try this way. We certainly have NO problem trusting you.
We were wishing we were in BA right now so we could help, and now you have provided a way to do so.
Thanks and we will let you know how it works. Let's keep hoping there is more and more good news. Everyone here who has met him seems to first refer
to his smile---it was the first thing we thought about.

Great idea Miguel.
For those that don't know TioMiguel; he is a first class guy that I would/have trusted with my kids or my money.
Shari,
Please add $1000 pesos of mine to the Manolo Fund and get it to them asap.
Thank you !

Thanks for the endorsement and the funds, Diver and Diane and John. As we know every dollar helps. Hope all is well with your family and you back in
the North. Our hopes and prayers go with Manolo and his family.

Thanks Grover...
This is a very easy way to help. Lots of moths flew out of my vacation depleted wallet, but man-o-man does it feel good to still be able to assist.

thanks so much grover and all of you who have responded. I haven't heard yet from the doctors meeting today...there is a possibility they will move
him to Guadalajara..where these funds will really help out the family so they can go with him there. I will post when I know more...I am deeply
honored to have such great nomad amigos.

Thanks for the update, Shari.
I have heard wonderful things about the hospital in Guadalajara, so if he is transferred there, he should receive first class care.
But it will be expensive for the family---keep us informed.

If it's ok to wait until next Thursday when I get paid, I will be happy to donate. Meanwhile I will continue with lit candles and prayers.... I
believe they really do make a difference.

Count us in on the donation. We don't know Manolo or his family, but we feel a strong connection to our new community and would like to help his
family. Jim and Lauri
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

thank you again and again all of you...you are right Natalie that the prayers and candles make a BIG difference when a soul is between worlds. Manolo
is breathing a bit, but still on life support to assist breathing..he is still in very critical condition and not out of danger yet but is
stabilized...not much better but certainly not any worse. Keep those prayers, healing energy and positive thoughts coming and candles lit. Stay with
us Manolo!!!!!!

Mr. Gypsy here,
Just donated. And a special thanks to TioMiguel for setting up this means to help out Manolo and his family. Manolo is a very stand up guy and a
valued neighbor and friend to us. Our hopes and prayers are with them.

The response for this has just been fantastic and I know that Manolo's family will just be amazed by all of your generosity. I know that we have met
many of you Nomads, but this has really made us appreciate even more the Baja Nomads and the good work done by this site.
As a newbie I and my wife now understand why everyone is so addicted to this site, its the great people that love to share.
Thanks to Shari for keeping us up to date on his condition and how things are going.
We hope to someday meet many of you on our trips down there. For now keep the prayers coming and hope for Manolo's recovery.
