The 28-year-old said she felt bad about what had occurred in her native country, but continued on with the celebration. She didn't yet know how severe the earthquake was, or how many lives it claimed.

My sister in law Gisselle Mendoza will be flying to Ecuador this coming Tuesday.  As a family we made the desicion to send whatever amount we raise with her in order to avoid transactions fees. Also, we will have my uncle open a new bank account so Gisselle can make the deposit and she will hand him the receipt. This way we avoid accidents since Ecuador is still in crisis and something could still happen.  So now we urge everyone to help us reach our goal so the money can be delivered as soon as next Tuesday since she arrives to ecuador 2 hours before the bank closes.

This money will help my uncle finish paying for the  cost of the 4 funerals, plus get him and my cousins to a save place. I honestly don't know what will happen next, but I know this money will bring a little of much needed peace of mind to my uncle Marcelo, and my cousins Betsabe and Daniela.
