Border Angels Baja Earthquake Update
 Enrique Morones - BorderAngels.org
April 08, 2010
Thanks to all for the very generous outpouring of support, but we still need more supplies and now have drop off sites throughout San Diego County and in Imperial Valley (Downtown San Diego, Hillcrest, Chula Vista, Lemon Grove, Clairemont, Vista, Santee, Imperial Valley). Our main drop off is the Unitarian Universalist church in Chula Vista (photographed above). Please call Mar Cardenas for the nearest drop-off location near you (619) 258-0169.
If going to Lemon Grove, please call Isabel at 619 739-5508, Imperial Valley: Emma (928) 446-7817, Clairemont Mesa: Lori (858) 278-1323, general info Enrique (619) 269-7865 .
What is needed most apart from monetary donations, are non perishable food, tents, canopies, sleeping bags, folding chairs, water, diapers, etc… just imagine if you were immediately left homeless and with no electricity or water, what would you need? It has been estimated that ruptured water lines will take up to two months to repair! We have already been shuttling items to Mexico and will continue to do so.
We will also lead a caravan to Mexicali area this Saturday, leaving mid morning from Chula Vista. (Remember that you need US passports). One of the neediest areas that needs our help is the CUCAPA indigenous community, south of Mexicali (this will be one of our key target areas). (please RSVP via this medium if you are interested in joining us).
Thanks again to all that have been so generous and supportive of Border Angels, we really need your help now as we have both the earthquake situation and the hot summer months ahead. Here are some of the drop off sites & contacts info we have now established:
