SAN CARLOS / GUAYMAS REGIONS OF SONORA
More than 40,000 people are homeless and without food, water, clothes, shoes, furniture, etc. Numerous local nonprofit organizations, including the Mexican Red Cross, are working together to try to meet the basic needs of the victims of Jimena. For example, I recently assisted with the distribution of 700 emergency care packages of food and cleaning supplies to San Jose, a community hit particularly hard by the storm. More disaster relief aid is needed in the aftermath of the area’s worst storm in 60 years. The community needs your help and would appreciate anything that you can give.
Items needed:
• Money-100% of the money will be used towards helping people. Everyone working on this is a volunteer.
• Clorox
• Water
• Milk (in cartons that are non-perishable)
• Basic foods like rice, beans, canned food
• Hygiene items, like soap, toothpaste, tooth brushes, brushes, combs, hair ties for the girls, shaving cream, razors
• Diapers
• Kotex
• Face masks
• Basic medical supplies
• Clothes, including shoes & underwear
• Comforters
• Sheets
• Dishes
• Utensils
• Mattresses. Something to sleep on – most lost their mattresses.
• School supplies
• Any and all types of furniture
