I've got a paypal account that could accept credit cards,or I could talk to management at AB to see if they would be willing to accept donations.
If we all kicked in even $10-20,I bet we could get them something usable.Thanks guys.

Count me in. How does one go about contributing?

thanks for responding.I'm trying to figure out a way to handle this.For now,maybe you can email me,
and I take it one on one.Tj hombre has said he can't be involved for legal reasons, and I respect that,I'm grateful that he's allowed me to use the board as a forum.I'm thinking about going down on Friday to speak to AB management and some of my amigas for their input as well.

A direct deduction may be tax deductable, check it out

I'm in. You know how to get in touch.

I'll be happy to contribute...just e-mail me via this board or post the specifics on where to send the money. Best of luck!

Amanmendada,
My x-wife and I used to go to the Orfange in Ensenada next to La Buforda every week to help the children. We would never bring money. Only food. My "X" is central American that lived in Acapulco most of her life. And she said, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, give money. Only give food. So if you need food. Count me in. I'd also like to see them eat the food too.

I'm from the old school, Hope you understand!

Westfargo...

Amamenena:
