I feel there are many $$$$ from Nomads....waiting in the wings..... waiting for the official post of "Hurricane Jimena relief fund is set up".
I haven't seen that yet. It may be in these posts somewhere....
If it is, it got lost in the Jimena thread.
If a fund is in place and ready for donations, Please Post links and info Clearly and separately so it doesn't get lost in the other disaster
information.
edit- I just went back and viewed "today's posts" to make sure I didn't miss something and I don't see a "Donate Now" post/link.

Treasurer's Update:
Cash now $200US plus $100 Canadian. Too late to do the math, but thanks to the Nomads making it happen. Things are starting to cook now.
Hurt me some more w/that 3% PayPal match, I haven't had to put up much yet, but hoping to get hurt bad.
Yeah, I know- its "badly" but its late & I'm hitting the sak.

Why don't you grow up? Where are my negative posts? Show them to me. I made what I think is one of the best suggestions here: Give money to the
Mexican Red Cross earmarked for Hurricane Jimena.
But, oh no, half the people here poo-pooed the idea. It seems everybody and his brother wants to run his own little charity organization. They all
want to step on each others toes standing out on the main street in Mulege being a hero passing out used clothes to the indios. They all want to be
efficient spending $300 in gas driving themsleves down there to pass out $400 worth of used clothes. They all think they can handle it better than the
Mexicans can. They all think they know who deserves the charity more than the Mexicans do. They all think they know more what the people need than the
Mexicans themselves.
What hubris.

E-Mike-
Please make it easy for us...
where's the link to the "DONATE HERE" page?
I say this because after being out of the forum for 13 hours, it takes a while to get caught up. If your current posts included a link or reference
to the donation site, it would help us stragglers catch up.
Thanks.

Posada-BushPilot,
can you please publish the Clubs Bancomer account number?
If one has an account there himself, its easier to make a transfer then anything else.

Interesting post. Right to the point. Arrowhead's argument holds water. "Sorry your town has been destroyed, here's some old clothes." Does the
thought really count?

EngineerMike - I just made my donation thru your Paypal account. Please check it out. Says you need to do something at your end to register as a
recipient. So....instead of going to B of A today I shifted the funds to YOU. Hope you get it. Let me know please. Paypal is easier. I had been
waiting for the holiday weekend to end so I could get into the bank.

Additional Donation Site
I have many pictures of the destruction on my website (www.mulege-mls.com) and instructions on how you can donate to the Mulege Relief Fund.
If you are coming down, the hotels are full but we need food, clothing and, of course, $$$. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated.

Ok heads up people. I did my noble thing sending money via Paypal to EngineerMike...problem is I used two "M"s in Flemming...Wrong. There is only one
"M", had I paid attention I would have done it right. I have cancelled the outgoing payment to Mike FleMMing, but can't stop Paypal from extracting
funds from my bank account. Now it will be 2-3 business days before it actually shows as a positive balance in Paypal (don't know why). Then I will be
able to resend to the correct address. Just in case there is someone out there who might make the same mistake wanted to give a heads up on this. I
believe Mike is making some posting with a easy click on now, so I might be the only one to screw up my donation...

One more idea. We are buying a solar shower bag to hang outside. Even if we can get a couple of gallons of water in there, we can at least rinse
ourselves off. Just a thought for those peeps who are driving down.

How about gallon baggies to donate, so that the people who are distributing fem products, diapers and stuff can separate and bag small items for
people...

PayPal Donations
First, a million thanks to all contributing. Received & hard pledges (i.e. I know its coming) comes to $2,285.
For donation through the Mulege Student Scholarship Program, Inc:
1) Right Click on This Link to PayPal and choose "Open Link in New Tab." This will leave these instructions open in this tab for your reference.
2) Login as usual
3) Click on "Send Money"
4) to avoid problems with misspelling, copy my email address as follows & paste it in the "TO (email or mobile phone)" field:
mike@fleming.cc
5) Fill in the donation amount in "Amount", click "Personal" and choose "Gift" and click "Continue"
6) on the next screen scroll down & write any note you would like to send, your address would be great but not req'd, then click "SEND"
and you have donated.
3 caveats:
First, misspelling will mess things up, cut & paste is better.
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. That's no big deal here, you can send me a note so I know what's in the works and can plan. This effort will
take many weeks. Our first brigade leaves in 2 or 3 days.
Third, in step 5 above, choosing clicking PERSONAL and choosing GIFT eliminates the PayPal 3%. Please do this, AND I WILL STILL KICK IN THE 3% ON
TOP!!! THANKS FOR HURTING ME MORE!!!!
Again if you prefer to send a check:

I think that Arrowhead has a valid point. I have been through many Baja hurricanes
and I'm always amazed at how fast the Mexican people working together with local govt., the army,CFE, and Cruz Roja put things back together. Yes this
is a tragedy, but don't underestimate the capacity of the local people, they have been through this before. Donate in a way that isn,t condescending
to local organizations, they have it together more than some might think.
