gofundme is definately NOT the way to go for emergency relief. Very slow process. Especially from Mexico. But... My Stepson has recently handled all the updates and transfers for us from Vancouver. Funds take 3 to 5 days to get into my Cdn account. I deposit a cheque in my Intercam account. Because of the amount that takes 2 days to clear. Money should be available tomorrow, Friday, Sept18. Dispensas will begin immediately. Francisco will be receiving a large amount to buy matresses, refrigerators and stoves. Valentin will be getting some help moving himself and his dogs out of his precarious perch above the arroyo. Watch La Manzanilla Life for photos and more updates. Will be ending the fund early next week, so if anyone still wants to help get your donation in now. Appreciate everyone's generosity and patience.

Please make sure anyone you know needing help is registered at the Delagacion.

Hey Steve, thanks for the update and glad to hear that things eventually worked out with GoFundMe. Gracias for all your efforts - I'm sure the funds you've collected have helped a lot of people who needed it.
