Fernando's Story
Today, a group of volunteers arrived at Fernando's house on Manuel Placencia Street with pressure washers, mops, bleach, and rubber gloves.  The going was slow, but great progress was made.  To hear how Fernando, his pregnant wife, and 7 year old son barely made it to safety from the rapidly swelling river, please view the attached video.



Not Unique
Their story, while heart wrenching, is not unique.  Many, many families are struggling to clean, provide for their children, and get back to their lives.  If you are in the Sayulita area, please consider joining our clean up crew which will be meeting at Costa Verde International School on Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th at 9:00am.  Cash donations are also desperately needed.  One hundred percent of your gift goes directly to providing relief to these struggling families and insuring Costa Verde International School is safe for the children to attend.  (See September 11th post for more information about Costa Verde's destroyed retaining wall.)
