Hurricane Relief for Costa Maya

Started August 24, 2007 · 7,879 views · 7 posts
Hello all,
I wanted to let everyone know that there is a fund raising effort going on to help the cities of the Costa Maya recover after Dean. This is a legitimate fund raiser with all monies going to hurricane relief in Mexico. Here is the link:

Please take a moment to look at it and if you are so inclined, make a donation. The site has already raised 3K in just one day.

I realize that this is on another board and apologize if this is inappropriate to post here. I just really want to help spread the word for this very worthy cause. Thanks.

This is a full report from the people that spear headed this fund raiser!! It also includes some amazing photos. It is truly touching!!

These people still need our help and relief funds are still being accepted. The next run down is to include more food and building materials. Next run will be in approximately 2 weeks. Please, open your hearts and your wallets. Every little bit helps. Remember, $20.00 in Mexico will go along way. :lol: Once again, thank you for reading.

It was storm surge. The hurricane landed over 100 miles to the north, and only because it took a wild last minute turn towards land.

What he was pointing out (in October 2002) was storm surge damage.

Thanks for the pics plus4!!

I love Puerto Vallarta. I have never seen those. Truly amazing. It was pretty cleaned up by the time we got there. When we went back in 05 it was much better. I had no idea what they started with.

Please feel free to PM me regarding the Mayan Riviera. I would be happy to answer any questions that I can. It is one of my favorite places in MX. 8)
