Odile relief--FUNDRAISING........
.
.....I'd imagine that many nomads are best able to help those in their own locale's,,,but I and others are less connected on-the-ground in Baja,,,and
waiting,hoping to hear of organizations that are receiving donations and assisting relief.
...it'd be great to hear of local efforts and 'fund-me's,,as well as larger operations.
....I've only heard of this homespun but well recommended effort out of Mulege,,,,, http://www.gofundme.com/ekf82g ,,,and some mention of the 'rotary' so far ...please drop some details of other groups doing fundraising,,thanks!

agree with Micah...some many nomads and so much Baja...perhaps research needs in "your" favorite Baja spot and focus there...also hard to vet the
"fundraiser" and where and what % of the stuff gets to the end-user...being selective might help ensure that it actually gets there....that being
said...easier here than there

...ummmm,,,I read enough to know that excellent effort is primarily goods distribution--useful if a person is in SoCal.
...as you know,,I'm in canaduh,,eh
edit---just noticed this.....
''We have had an amazing response in the first 24 hours ..
You can purchase items ONLINE with COSTCO and request them to be DROP SHIPPED to the US Location at Mexicana Logistics.
Every thing helps from 6 cans of food. to one package of diapers or 1 case of water….it all helps.
Simply buy it online and drop ship to ML listed in the post above.
.'El Jefe'...that sounds like a good one--I'll pass it on

International Community Foundation
There's a legit foundation in San Diego that's fund-raising for relief. Here's a link to their website, http://www.icfdn.org/index.php , which has a fund set up for relief in Baja Sur...
Go here for their Charity Navigator rating, which is pretty good: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary...

YachtAid Global and fund raising for Baja
Hi all, i am the founder and executive director of YachtAid Global. We coordinate moving humanitarian aid around the world using private boats. see
www.yachtaidglobal.org
Before Odile hit we coordinate aid to go aboard the 78 meter sail boat M5 in Puerto Vallarta. Sept 17 AM she arrived into la paz and anchored off the
area to do a security assessment. Today Sept 18 she offloaded general aid like water containers, canned food, pop up tents, tarps, line, general
first aid..... she pumped ashore thousands of gallons of fresh water intro tanker trucks. The first truck delivered the water to Cabo San Lucas
hospital. The second truck delivered to San Jose Del Cabo hospital. As far as we know this is the first large scale water delivery in the area.
This info can be verified by Dr Rogelio Ortiz in La Paz who coordinate the distribution. Dr is adviser of the minister of health, Coordinator of the
State Children Cancer Prevention and Treatment Program and Coordinator of the State Children Cardiac Program and Open Heart Surgery Missions.
Next up is a $ 20,000 usd medical wounds care supplies donated by St Marys Med Center in San Francisco thanks to TJ Haga. Working to use non profit
logistics www.gotlift.org to move the supplies on one of the commercial planes going down to pickup people.
Just received word from the good Dr Ortiz that he has approval from " Medozas wife and staff" that the cargo will be fast tracked with zero customs
issues as long as it is documented properly.
we are a real , irs recognized organization doing good work. Donate funds on our site www.yachtaidglobal.org or send like kind donations to the address on our home page.

Has anyone approached Slim Helu for massive donation? He has gotten so much from his country and he has massive personal resources that he derived
from his customers, the Mexican market, and his employees, that is the citizens of Mexico. Possibly he could donate as little as 2% of his wealth
which is, let's say, oh, a little over $1 Billion. He could donate 10% (that would be about $6 Billion).
I mean, if he did that, I understand that he and his family would have to see if they could get by with the remaining $55 Billion...I know that is a
lot to ask.
It is his country, figuratively and, to a significant extent, literally.

I am in the process of finding out if donations can be run through Rotary International and directed to Mulege'. We have a very active group in
Mulege' with many fundraisers,, all the proceeds go back directly to the Mulege' community.
If I find it will work I will post the information...
Hoping our freinds and family there now are staying safe and well.. We have not heard from many since early Monday..
We did get word from one that food and water were becoming a big problem..
Thanks to all that want to help our little piece of paradise...

ON LINE DONATIONS THRU MULEGE ROTARY
DONATION PROCEDURE USING PAYPAL:
We are using Mike Fleming's paypal account. Here is how you do that:
1. go to paypal.com
2. login as usual
3. click on "send money"
4. copy and past or just type in TO: mike@fleming.cc
5. fill in your donation amount, click "PERSONAL" and choose "gift" and click continue.
6. on the next screen scroll down & write in the note space: "Forward this donation to Mulege Rotary" then click send and you have donated.
Some caveats:
First, misspelling will mess things up so cut and paste is the way to go.
Second: PayPal may hold large donation amounts for a day or two to "verify funds" or have other similar process with your account, usually they
explain that on screen or in an email. No big deal.
Third: in step 5 above, clicking PERSONAL and choosing gift eliminates the 3% paypal fee so 100% of your donation is received.
Thanks for supporting Rotary and the fine citizens of Mulege.
Any questions....fire away. Use this forum or my email: tntsell@sbcglobal.net
Here you go! You can do this one from Canada
