Help Leila save her house!

Donation protected
One night at the end of rainy season in Sayulita Mexico, I woke up to what I thought was an explosion. The loud explosive and crashing noise was followed by my entire house shaking. I was all alone and a bit frightened, but cautiously opened the back door. Water and mud started to flow from the back of the house all the way through the house and out the front door. Once I gained my senses and flashlight I realized the 15 to 20 foot high retaining wall that supports the public street on the side of my house had failed and crashed into my garden and house. The fallen wall obliterated my back yard, porch, half the plumbing to my house and damaged my back retaining wall. The flooding that resulted from the fallen wall has done serious internal damage to my floors and walls. I was very lucky my horse was not in his back coral and all the dogs were curled up inside to stay dry. Thank you guardian angles for that.
Since the morning after the wall crashed down I have sought help from government agencies and have been working double or triple time just in case I can not get help. I have traveled to California several times to hold sales of Mexican goods too. I have earned some of the cost but, after months of hard work which has agrivated my Rhuematoid Arthritis and caused my health and other important parts of my life to suffer I am still short of the basic costs and terrified I am going to lose my house once the rains start.

My hard but true reality is I have been in this all alone and will not receive any help. Rainy season will be upon us soon in Sayulita, Mexico and I am still short by many thousands of dollars. If I do not get the two walls built and fixed soon the rains will wash my house away. The money I request would rebuild the public retaining wall that holds up the disintegrating street, put the street back to its original size and build a permanent drainage canal to protect the wall. This benefits the entire neighborhood and town . If the wall isn't built the street will be washed away and everyone up hill will not be able to get to their homes. It will also build a new wall in front of my back retaining wall that connects at a 90 degree angle to the public street wall and protects my house. (I will find a way to redo the plumbing, porch, inside floors and replace my machines and other properties crushed under the fallen wall ) I only am trying to find the money to take care of solving my immediate danger as rainy season approaches

I have always been able to solve my problems on my own. My friends who know me well tell me I'm too proud and private to ask for help. This time I open myself up to ask for help to save my house. I can do this, but need your help. Small, large or any size donations are gladly and great fully accepted.
