University of Miami for Mexico

Donation protected
As you may know, Mexico suffered the most devastating earthquake in the past 30 years last Tuesday, September 19th.

Over 40 buildings collapsed inside Mexico City as well as many others in surrounding states, with the death toll climbing to over 250 people.

The Organization of Mexican Students at the University of Miami, or Mexicanes, wants to join the efforts of thousands of people collaborating in to rebuild and support those victims who have lost it all. A great majority of the victims are people from a low socio-economic standing that have been left without their homes and belongings.

As our families and friends back home help to pull people out from collapsed buildings, donate blood, food, water, clothes, etc., We have determined that the best way we can collaborate in this tragedy from afar is by making a collective donation to the "Fundación Carlos Slim".

We have decided to make our donation through said organization since they have committed to donate 5 pesos for each peso donated, which would end up as a signifficantly larger amount than the original.

Currently, the mexican population has demonstrated extreme valor and solidarity in providing the necessary resources (food, medicine, etc.) to take care of the immediate victims and rescue teams that have been working non-stop since the event. A monetary donation makes much more sense targeting the rebuilding efforts guided towards schools, hospitals and homes of the victims.

Feel free to approach any of your mexican friends or peers at the University of Miami, or  us directly, we'll be very happy to clear your doubts or to give you any other information on how to help or donate.

We will post a receipt of the donation in this page when we are done collecting!

Sincerely, Mexicanes
