Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM
Posted by Stephanie on July 9, 2021, 9:35 am
Thanks so much Steve for urging me to search this page out and start it! Mil gracias! It was easy to do and might help both with Bernardo and family and others in LM that may find themselves in similar situations! I thank you all for any amount you might make and will keep you informed of our progress!

Way to go Stephanie. It would be cool if this can remain an ongoing account available for future instances where families need immediate help. By the looks of it, you already thought if that. This is going to be immensely beneficial to our community. Well done. | -----------------------Re: Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM

Hey Patrick! Thanks for asking! As the cases rise in LM and one serious one is my gardener and friend, Bernardo, am asking for funds both for his family and others that might find themselves in need during this period! Bernardo will be out of work for many home owners for at least another month recuperating and without pay! And am sure as time goes on others will be in similar straits! But hoping not! Any excess that is donated will go directly to other needs in the community as in post hurricane needs, illnesses etc! Hope that answers your questions!

There are currently seven residents in La Manz. that I know personally with COVID. Three are from a very 'humble' family and need oxygen, which is costly. Can this family apply for funds? If so, how? | -----------------------Re: Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM

Judith..if you want funds to go direct to this family, donate to gofundme and I will make sure they get your donation on my return! Just send me their info. swunner@earthlink.net! Thanks for your interest! | -----------------------Re: Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM

judith are you in La Manz or BC? The issue for Canadians, is shipping via another Canadian or to someone in the Village(OXXO? ) avoids double losses for currency conversions. Are you there Judith?? If not David Dagoli? wendy | -----------------------Re: Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM

Wendy I'm in Canada. GoFUNDme also charges a commission. | -----------------------Re: Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM

The commission fee is 1.9 % of donation…and there will be few folks arriving before the end of October! Some folks can get money to their house managers, others directly to workers who are in need and others can choose Western Union through OXXO! So on a $100 US dollar donation…97.30 is actually donated or thereabouts! Cannot figure that for Canadians! Thanks! | -----------------------Re: Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM

Judith….here is the link….www.gofundme.com/f/medical expenses-Bernardo-and-others…… Others have had no problem even from Canada! And yes, am aware from your email of many others in trouble through friends in LM! I will be back on the 21st…and will be at my house for awhile til I see what the situation is in town! Thanks for your caring message! | -----------------------Re: Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM

Thanks for the donations so far..have reached $350 in the gofundme account and have $120 in checks! Maria is very appreciative! And the reason for the pic of Bhindi and my garden on the gofundme page is that Bernardo and Bhindi are the best of buddies and Bernardo is my gardener! Thanks again! | -----------------------Re: Gofundme for Bernardo and others in LM

Seems to be working as donations are coming in….just posted again with facts that to date I have received $610 pesos and would like to see $1,000 US go to Bernardo and then apply the rest to others! So if you read this and care to, please donate. What with Ron’s message, see below, and the news of another passing, well, covid has caught up with Costa Alegre! Stay safe friends and neighbors! | -----------------------
