Drop off Center for Victims of Fort Davis/Marfa/Alpine Wild Fires!

As I sit here in Oaxaca and watch the ongoing stream of news on my Facebook page it is absolutely devestating to see all of the destruction of the ongoing fires.  Fort Davis has a special place in my heart as well as Alpine.  I spent my summers in Paisano and our family always escaped to Fort Davis to cool down and used the town as a resting point to visit our family in Mexico.  To see it up in flames is unnerving and leaves me feeling helpless for the victims. 

As I watch in horror photos being posted by friends and their families I cannot imagine what I would do or how I would feel if this was happening to our family or to our homes.  So the only thing left for me to do show my gratitude to the universe for allowing our family to be safe from harms way is to help. 

Pecos is full of generous hearts.  We need all the help we can get to be able to help the victims of the fire.  They need water, food supplies, clothes, furniture, money.  Etc. 

But of course we can't pull this off without you.  I'm in Oaxaca, Mexico.  I have a laptop.  A fan page.  A building.  That's the best I can do.  If I can get volunteers to arrive to accept donations wooohoo.  But keep in mind,, after we get everything donated.  We need to get it all there.  So I also need volunteers willing to drive whatever we get donated to the victims. 

Our building is huge.  It can hold a lot of stuff.  But...logistics is important.  We are very dependent on being able to get everything out.  So here is where we stand.   Councilman Cody West will be annoucing information on our drop off center.  Mayor Venetta Seals is part of the volunteer team to assure that all donations go to victims in need.  My mom can open the building for volunteers and little by little I hope to be able to gather needed goods for the victims from over here in Southern Mexico.  If you would like to donate directly here is information.  I am not sure what we will do with the money that we receive.  Join our fanpage and i'll put a voting widget up so it can become a democratic decision. Who knows...maybe we sponsor a family.  A non-profit.  A student.  An Elderly person.  Who knows.  But one thing is for sure they need our help.  I'll donate all processing fees on my paypal account.  I am 100% verified! Find out more about me at http://www.sandrarenteria.com/

Please keep in mind...I'm in Oaxaca, Mexico.  Communication isn't easy.  But as long as I have internet...we can pull this off together!  Thanks in advance!
