Help Baja! Hurricane Jimena Relief Efforts

Posted by Carol Billups in victims , relief , Mexico , Jimena , hurricane , help , disaster , Baja , aid

My friend Sabrina Lear, head of english programming at CaboMil radio just sent this, it appears to be a public service announcement they're going to be running, but it's the first legit info on how to get aid. Those people need our help!

The International Community Foundation is partnering with the Mexican Red Cross to support disaster relief efforts in Baja California Sur caused by Hurricane Jimena. The Red Cross has determined that the greatest needs are found in Lopez Mateos, Campo Rene, Santa Rosalia, and Mulege. In addition, land access has been cut off from many small villages and ranches. Donations for disaster relief will assist the Red Cross in distributing survival food boxes, water, clothing, tarps, and medical supplies. To donate, go to www.icfdn.org (spell address) and click on Online Donation at the top of the home page above the search box. The Baja California Disaster Relief Fund is easy to find through the Online Donation link. Over $11,000 US has been raised so far.... that's www.icfdn.org/ (spell address)... Cabo Mil Cares.

Boomers Abroad

BoomersAbroad.com was born in direct response to hundreds of conversations with baby boomers from the USA and Canada who were seeking a new life, and to better understand how they might live abroad, travel abroad, relocate abroad, retire abroad and/or invest abroad. Leading industry experts and many of those who have journeyed ahead will share their personal experiences and knowledge in a great variety of areas.

Boomers Living Abroad

The number of Americans and Canadians living abroad, by today's count approximately 7 million (according to The Washington Post), is twice the population of Chicago and greater than that of 33 U.S. States. A number that has grown steadily over the past decade, and it is expected to more than double within ten years. In the next 20 years, 100 million baby boomers, from the USA and Canada, are going to retire. Five million baby boomers turn age 60 each year, Ten Thousand per day, Eight per minute, and scores of them are purchasing property abroad as vacation homes or investment homes. Naturally, many of them are auditioning these homes for potential primary retirement residences.
