Please Help
We are beginning the clean up process and it will be long and difficult. But everyone (even those who lost everything and we mean EVERYTHING) are in good spirits. This is the bridge that we walk over every morning with Hunter.
This is in the Ranchitos just a few blocks from where we live.
We are part of a group who are spearheading getting relief aid to those areas hit the hardest. 
These areas had a wall of water over 10' high go through their communities resulting in several feet of mud being distributed into their modest homes.
The loss of their mattresses, all furniture, clothing, linens, food, etc. 
In addition these areas do not have drinking water easily available. They are resorting to collecting water from the still flowing creeks that more than likely have dead animals in them contaminating the water....but what other options do they have? NONE. 
This is an old folks home where the residents had to climb a rickety ladder and spend the night on the roof to escape the rushing water (as you can see everything is ruined).
Our group is backed by established charitable, non-profit organizations; Rotary Club, Sonora is Safe, and Castaway Kids. We are coordinating trailer loads of needed items from Arizona, Colorado and several other States that will arrive in few days and be distributed. We are asking that YOU please donate money to help our efforts. We love our new community and hope, as you have followed our trek, that you can spare a few dollars to support what we, your friends and family, love. If you are able to give just $1 through the PayPal account we have established, this will really go a long way in helping our relief efforts. We will be providing needy families with cash, drinking water, food, bedding, clothing, cleaning supplies, personal hygiene items, and anything else we can. You can even get a donation receipt for write off on your federal tax return. The PayPal account to send donations to is:
