Well, two reasons...the day after Thanksgiving three years ago we opened Otra Vez...so it is a celebration!
The second is that we hope you can stop by and donate what you can to a young baby here who needs a battery of tests to determine what is causing convulsions and partial paralysis! I met with Abby and Daniela the mother today and decided on such short notice we could open for donations and help this young family out! Otra Vez will donate 3,000 pesos but the costs could conceivably amount to approx 7,000! She leaves for Colima by bus Friday afternoon with her son and will stop by the store before departure!
So on this day before Thanksgiving, think of what we have and are grateful for and donate any amount you can to help another!
Thanks so much!
Feliz Acciones de Gracias!

Just two more things.....
Many thanks to those that came and donated to Daniela, Concho and there baby! We managed to give them 5,000 pesos towards testing him on Saturday in Colima! But here is the sweetest part of this story...as I gave her the money she mentioned she had a large bag of used goods to help repay the money taken! How very thoughtful of her,...paying it forward at it’s best!
Also..our hours for now will be Mon-Fri from 10-12 until further notice!
And Alvino is back with his bamboo animals and hats and will be making them in front of the bookstore this coming Monday..Yeah...such a fun gift!
Again, thanks to all who make these stores happen for others!
