Help! Mexico's strongest earthquake

Donation protected

As some of you know by now Mexico has been hit twice by the strongest earthquake in a Century and many people have died, have lost their homes and had been injured.

We decided to create this page so people can donate as much or as little possible in order for us to send the money to Mexico where someone can buy what is needed and bring it to the Red Cross Donations Centers.

We will show the receipts of all the things bought to make sure you see all the money was assigned to help those in need at the moment.

We think it is an easy way to help from far as sending the actual products will be hard to sent.

We will appreciate your help.

We are in contact with some family members in Oaxaca Chipas and now Mexico who are going to help us distribute the money and things we can buy.

Muchas Gracias!

Como muchos de ustedes saben ha habido un terremoto en Mexico donde muchas personas han perdido sus casas, estan heridas y necesitan de nuestra ayuda.

Es por eso que hemos creado este link para que podamos hacer donaciones desde donde nos encontremos.

Una vez que se colecte el dinero haremos un envio a Mexico para que se compre las cosas necesarias y se hagan llegar a la Cruz Roja.

Hemos pensado que colectar las cosas en materia prima desde Canada puede ser un poco dificil encontrar la manera de envio.

Sin embargo seguiremos buscando esa posibilidad. Pero por ahora pueden ayudar donando aqui y compartiendo el link.

Una vez comprando todo les haremos llegar a traves de las redes sociales el recibo de lo gastado para que haya transparencia en todo momento.

Les agradecemos de ante mano su ayuda y sus muestras de carino a nuestro pais en estos momentos.

Gracias!

Mexico's strongest earthquake in a century .

At least 61 people have died after the most powerful earthquake to hit Mexico in a century struck off the southern coast.

The magnitude 8.1 quake, which was felt as far as Mexico City and Guatemala City, was registered off Mexico's southern coast just as heavy rains from Hurricane Katia lashed the east. The epicenter was in the Pacific Ocean, some 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) southeast of the capital and 74 miles (120 kilometers) off the coast.

President Enrique Peña Nieto said the temblor -- felt by about 50 million people across the country -- was the strongest earthquake Mexico has experienced in 100 years. In September 1985, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake killed an estimated 9,500 people in and around Mexico City.

This one hit late Thursday, when many people were asleep. The states of Chiapas and Oaxaca, home to about 9 million people, are located closest to the earthquake's epicenter. They are two of the most impoverished areas in Mexico, and were likely hit the hardest.

At least 45 people were killed in Oaxaca state, Civil Protection National Coordinator Luis Felipe Puente said on Twitter. Ten others died in Chiapas state and three were killed in Tabasco, he said.
