The fact that you are on here still looking for donations instead of lamenting the loss of your van says loads about you. How do we donate?

Simple, it's not about me, it's all about a group of children that are expecting gifts that were promised to them. I'll get the van back, eventually
or something else will happen to make up for it and I'll have time for that after next weekend.
Thanks Kgryfon. The information is posted at the beggining of this thread.

One more box of toys headed your way....You will have it tomorrow (tuesday).
Do you still need more bikes? My friend that is going to join us in tj is coming from LA on Friday, she has a bunch of bikes she is just not sure if
its too late. Should we save them for next year?
Cant wait for our first attending of Dia de Reyes toy drive......My wife has already warned me about no whining about missing the Niner game! My
buddy coming from LA is a huge Broncos fan......Its about the kids  !!
Thanks for all you do Fernando, look forward to meeting you.

The toy drive is next sunday and all toys must be gift wrapped and labeled, wich means we need to start gift wrapping by tomorrow. Could you please,
if you are planning on sending toys, send them soon? Please?
We can do some shopping for you if you're not sure what to get by simply sending us egift cards from Toys R Us or we have also a Paypal acct.

I'll be posting mor้ precise information on the schedule for sunday but ti will most likely be like every year. You park your car at the last US
parking "Border Village" and take the Mexicoach bus to Tijuana and we lea ve from there at about 9:30am for the toy drive. We should be back by 5:30pm

I need to double-check if they still leave from that same place. I was looking at their website, and it looks like they might be using two different
stations in San Ysidro. I'll post more before the weekend. The schedule's still the same for the buses, just that the parking/station info might be
slightly different than the last few years.
If someone knows for certain - feel free to post.
I'll be calling them to find out.
Thank you!

You can do it online without even having to go to the actual store http://www.toysrus.com/eGiftcard/index.jsp
Or just use Paypal, fernando@vivabajacalifornia.com

I haven't been able to get a call through to Mexicoach. Their USA# is out-of-service today, and there's no answer at the Tijuana #.
I'm sure I can find them in SY, but it makes it hard to plan something together.

According to the Mexicoach website (which has changed since last year), they have San Ysidro stations at the UETA Duty Free, and at the trolley
station. According to the schedule on the website, the UETA location is the one that goes to the Av Revolucion Mexicoach stop (Tijuana Downtown
Station). Says there are buses on the hour every hour starting at 4:00 a.m., and $2 one-way. $3 one-way the opposite direction from Revolucion back
to San Ysidro.
