As many of my friends know, there is an elderly couple living over by my house on the arroyo. They were granted permission to build a very simple house there years ago as they have no children or relatives or many friends here in the community.
The situation for the last two years has been dire and the time has come to place Guadalupe in a home as it is too difficult for anyone to care for him.
So I am looking for any financial help that anyone can give at this time. The bookstore can donate 500 p month towards the 2,400 needed monthly to keep him housed, cleaned and fed!
If you would like to help out please contact me here or call me at 351-7251. I will put a can out for them on Saturday so should you go into the bookstore before, please just tell the volunteer on site that it is for Guadalupe!
Update on Guadalupe....after two days of gathering paperwork and various other details he is in a home in Zihuatlan and am told is very content.
His monthly cost to stay there is 2,200 pesos, not 2,400. The bookstore paid for his first month as there is no other help available to him until we can get him to Autlan for some further paperwork, but then that is for only 500 peso...so his expenses will be 1,700 monthly.
What we are trying to do is get money into an account to insure he can stay there until his time comes. The bookstore can only help so far...so if you can help this man out, we thank you.
