Hey friends of Pacha Mama. I know I've asked you about ten times already to donate to the earthquake relief effort in our part of Ecuador, but in case you're feeling extra generous today… My beloved Canadian friends in the next community over lost their home during the quake (which they had just finished building last year). They were very lucky to get out unharmed but would very much appreciate your help in rebuilding their beautiful home. Share if you can!

In the aftermath of this devastating tragedy I am truly inspired by how many people, foreigners and nationals alike, are coming together to raise funds for the much needed emergency supplies being taken to the coast of Ecuador. With national and international aid organizations coming up short in smaller rural areas, it's beautiful to see how people with friends and family affected are taking matters into their own hands by purchasing and delivering things like food, water, and shelter themselves. As difficult as it is for us to be here in Canada during this tragedy, we want to do everything we can from here to help those affected back home. As most of you know my husband Oscar's family was greatly affected by the quake. Due to the overwhelmingly generous offers of help that we have received from friends and family here in Canada, we have set up at PayPal "donate button" to allow people to donate to our cause with ease. For those of you unfamiliar with our area, we live in a small rural community called Rio Muchacho located near the epicentre of the quake. Most of the people in our community, including Oscar's father, brother, and brother in-law, are labourers or farmers making anywhere between twelve to fifteen dollars a day. They have no savings, and because the quake has completely destroyed the towns in our area it is likely that they will be without income for some time. With food, water, and medical treatment finally arriving to our area, it's time to contemplate how those who have lost so much will rebuild their lives over the coming months. In attempts to be perfectly transparent I will say that this is not an emergency relief fund; we are gathering funds to help rebuild once the state of emergency has passed. Furthermore, all money donated to us will go first to helping Oscar's immediate and extended family rebuild their homes which have been damaged or destroyed and replace belongings that have been lost. Should we raise enough money to cover those costs, any remaining funds will go towards the enormous task of rebuilding our and neighbouring communities, with our priority being schools, community centres and homes. Should you wish to donate, please be aware that sites like PayPal and GoFundMe are businesses at their core and they do take a cut of everything they process. We decided to go with PayPal because they take a maximum cut of 2.9 percent, whereas GoFundMe takes five percent of every donation. For those of you who know me directly and are located in Canada there is also the option of an etransfer through online banking in which case there is no middle man taking a cut. Needless to say every penny donated to our cause will go directly to the families who need it. Follow the link to donate if you wish to help our family rebuild. Oscar and I feel truly blessed that we are in a position to help his family and other families in our community start anew, and we thank you for helping us accomplish this great task. https://www.paypal.com/ca/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=gOkSOvg8wp1S8OZ57WxFm7YAEOk-oe5r_T-uz3tvVgx3vtZa_ky-fWcCvNq&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d6625bf1e8bd269586d425cc639e26c6a https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/04/27/heroic-rescue-dog-dies-after-saving-ecuador-earthquake-victims/ http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2016/04/ecuador-resort-town-torn-earthquake-160426070349918.html
