Hello, everybody,
Mexico is in a state of crisis following the three earthquakes that hit on the 7th, 19th, and 23rd of September 2017. In total, the death toll in the month of September has reached over 400 people, and many hundreds hurt and hospitalized. This number is likely to increase in the following weeks. ��
Around 50 buildings have collapsed in Mexico City alone, and one of those buildi
ngs was a primary school, where 20 children sadly passed away in the tremor. We are a group of exchange students between the ages of 15-18 years, currently in Mexico, and ever since we arrived, this country has greeted us with nothing more than love and acceptance. We could not have wished for a better place to be and enjoy our exchange year. However, seeing this beautiful and amazing country in crisis really touched our hearts, and we wish to do something about it. So we decided to ask our local rotary club for help.��That is when we decided to make a campaign here on GoFundMe as a relief fund for the people of Mexico City, Morelos, Puebla, Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Chiapas. In the start, the affected people needed things like clothes, medicine, toilet paper, towels, amongst other things, however as time goes on they will need help for building supplies for rebuilding homes and hospitals, tools, medicine and more. ��These brave and amazing people are standing together in a situation of crisis, and we can help by using the money for all of these supplies and sending them to the affected areas. Your donations mean a lot, and every little bit counts. So please, help us help them! ��Thank you!��
Who are we? �
Hugo Williot from Belgium, Emma Laurent from France, Dakota Cramer from the USA, Alexia Carvalho from Brazil, Nikolai Allermann from Denmark, Nathan Guilloteau from France, and Antonie Sargo from France are the founders of this Campaign, however the amount of exchange students working on this stretches way beyond several kids. In Rotary District 4140 alone, there is 107 exchange students, from 23 different countries putting time and effort to support the people that have been left battered from these monstorus tremors. Even beyond that, there are past exchange students, current exchange students in different districts, and Rotarian members that are all supporting and assisting with this project. This campaign is based in Morelia, Michoacán, but we have encouraged every single exchange student in the country and beyond to cooperate on it with us. In our district 4140, which includes Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Querétaro, parts of Hidalgo, and parts of Jalisco. All exchange students are contacting thier rotary clubs in thier home countries and are communicating with thier schools, families, facebook friends to raise as much support and money as possible. We will also contact the rest of the 100s of exchange students in Mexico, and ask them to spread the word, and we would be ever thankful if you did the same.
���Where will the money go? When the time is in, we will withdraw the money to buy the supplies that are currently in demand at the moment of withdrawal. It will be things like medicine, supplies, water, tools, and general help. We will log everything we buy and use the money for, to prove that we use the money for its intended purpose, and provide pictures and videos of all the shipments we make. Rotary will help us with the organization of the charity events and also help with keeping track of it all. We will continuously post updates on this page as we progress through the relief of the affected areas. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you have considered helping our cause. You can help simply by sharing this page with friends, leaving a donation, or by contacting your local rotary club and urging them to join our cause. Lets come together to make a difference for those who desperately need it. Thank you!
