Re: And now for some great news!
In February I had a massive fire, 20ft. high flames, in my garden refuse pile at the corner of my lot beside the arroyo, off Calle Negritos. It was horrific! It woke me up from an afternoon nap so I was not prepared at all. All I could do was yell Ayudame Ayudame from my balcony. Within minutes my yard was swarmed by my neighbour, Eddy (Lalo) and his work crew, who just took over and 45 minutes later had things under control including putting out the fire in my palapa. I’ve never been so traumatized in my life, or so grateful for the kindness shown by my ‘neighbours’. I was supposed to be heading to the airport right at that time to pick up friends,, which had been cancelled, thank gawd. But it made me wonder what would have happened if I had not been at home and been unable to unlock the gate for my saviours. I think Stephanie is right on the mark with trying to figure out a plan, and the manpower, to aid residents in similar situations which are going to happen more and more frequently now that climate change is causing such traumatic global weather conditions, such as the drought throughout Mexico currently. I would gladly make a donation to whatever solutions can be found to help anyone in La Manz who might need it going forward. I never ever want to go through that again! Good luck with this, Stephanie, you are such an asset to the pueblo!
