A friend is looking to make some charitable donations to the community and is wondering what is needed and how to properly distribute it. Are there any organizations in town that handle this type of thing? Thanks in advance. | ------------------------Re: Donations

We have sent money to friends in need using XOOM. They charge $4.99 USD for up to $2,999.00 USD. There may be additional charges if done with your Credit Card. The money can be picked up at: Caja Solidaria La Huerta Av. Veracruz 175-D Entre calle Sinaloa y Lopez de Legazpi Barra de Navidad, Jalisco It has been the best option for us. Are there better options? We need someone to help coordinate our contributions to the community. Ron

Lisa All efforts are important at this point, and I'm not sure of the best method for fulfilling the immediate need(s). It is amazing what has already been accomplished by this resilient community. GoFundMe charges 7.9% for their coordination, which might not be hugely important to facilitate timely contributions, but I'm not sure if someone has come forward to manage that account. I've had issues with PayPal and am reluctant to use that method of payment, and again someone needs to manage that account. We've already sent pesos with XOOM to help with needs for individuals that we have identified, but then again we need someone to manage a broader effort. I'd love to help with your efforts, let me know how I can help. Ron
