Diane,
What you need to do is go to PayPal.com. (If you haven't used it before, you'll need to set up a paypal account. It's easy, and you can use a credit
card to make the payment... or bank account, etc.)
At the paypal.com site you'll need to click on the "Send Money" tab. That tab will have a place to enter the address that Antonio gave.
(info"at"bajacactus) Put in the dollar amount you want to send, pick cash advance and then follow the steps to finish the transaction.
Hope this helps.

Having a PayPal account is a great way to move money to friends and family when out of the country as well as make purchases online where you don't
want to give a credit card. More and more places accept PayPal everyday.
Helping Elsa's family is a great excuse to go ahead and sign up for an account today if you don't already have one. They use an encryption process
more secure than the government currently uses and have great fraud protection resources. Check it out and let's all join in helping these folks out
in this devastating time they are going through right now...

Thank you for taking matters in your own hands, Woodie, and to make this happen. I've never personally stopped at their restaurant but will make a
point of it and see if there's anything else we can do in addition to the money sent.
Were the criminals every aprehended?

I think we need to think of Antonio's time here. It will be so much easier to account for and then give the $ to the right people at the right time
if we all use PayPal. I suspect he is asking that not just for our convenience. My 2 cents.

Has anyone heard of a theory as to why these people were attacked?

I was in El Rosario a few days ago and the word on the street is that the targets were rival narcos who just happened to be eating at La Mijita. As
the border is getting clamped down they are looking to control some remote routes/landing areas in the hills southeast of El Rosario, based on several
conversations I had with locals and a few who are politically connected.
Elsa was an unfortunate an innocent bystander...

Thank you Antonio for taking the direct lead in regards to directing funds in support of Elsa's family.
For anyone (lurkers?) seeking my "official" endorsement in having this go through Antonio and BajaCactus - this is it: Please send donations for
Elsa's family - directly through the web site PayPal.com - to the email address: info(at)bajacatus.com
http://www.paypal.com
My family's thoughts and prayers at this time are with Elsa's family as well as the entire town of El Rosario.
Regards,

Thank you all...
I would like to thank each and everyone of you for helping Elsa's family... I am really proud to be part of this community... there is still hope for
this world!!!.
Also a huge thank to Doug for allowing all of us to help each other through this site.
Regarding donations being left at BajaCactus no problem... just please put your donations inside an envelope along with a message indicating is for
Elsa's fund... outside the envelope please address it to me (Antonio Munoz)... that way it will be given to me personally. I will add it to the total
fund. I will instruct my staff to have some envelopes at hand.
You can leave them either at the Motel front desk or the Administrative offices (second floor of the Gas Station).
On the other hand... in this matter, I will absorb all the commissions being charged by PayPal, that way Elsa's family will receive the whole sum you
all are donating with so much sentiment and love.
If there is anything else you believe I can do, please let me know.
God Bless you all,
Antonio Munoz

Just an idea. It would be best to give the donations to the family all at one time instead of a lot now, a little next week and so on...
How about we close the window on donations through Baja Nomad/Baja Cactus via Paypal one week from this Friday, Dec 5th?
After that date maybe just stopping by the taco stand and offering some kind words and buying lunch would be the best way to help the family down the
line, if they decide to keep running it.
Thanks for everything!

Just stopped in to Baja Cactus yesterday to make a donation and suggested they put a nice donation box on the desk as well. This family will need as
much help as they can get to get back on their feet and every little bit helps whether it trickles in or comes in a large sum. I too am proud to be
part of this caring nomad community.
