Together for México

Mexico has been hit by terrible earthquakes. Thousands of people need your help!

During the last few weeks, Mexico has ben hit by potent earthquakes. In september 19th, exactly 32 years after the tragic earthquake of 1985, a 7.1 magnitude seism destroyed dozens of buildings in Mexico city alone, including schools, killing hundreds of people. Many rescue teams and volunteers give their best to try and find survivors but desperately need tools and means to keep going.

This tragedy is far from over. Thousands of buildings have suffered severe damage and hundreds are uninhabitable, leaving thousands of families homeless and in despair. Dozens of shelters are already in place and also need a constant flow of food and basic supplies to help the families.

The money raised will be donated to the Mexican Red Cross. This institution provides free health care and is actively involved in rescue actions as well as humanitarian aid: http://bit.ly/2xuRq2G. I am in no way personally involved with the Red Cross, but have chosen it for being a safe destination for our donations.

About the author

I am Yoann Nesme, born in Mexico City 36 years ago. I still remember the earthquake that shook the city in 1985 and the panic that followed! I was 4 years old back then, so there wasn't much I could do. After 32 years, I am not there to help as I'd wish, but will do my best to raise funds the ones in need.

Budget and due dates

I hope to raise as much as I can in 2 weeks to quickly donate the total amount to the Mexican Red Cross. These funds will be used to buy food and medical supplies. You can check Mexican Red Cross' Facebook page below for the latest updates.
