Upcoming Christmas Toy Giveaway

From September 5th to November 5th I was conducting a fundraiser campaign for a Christmas Toy Giveaway I will be hosting in my hometown of Iguala, Guerrero. The campaign ended last week, and I am very grateful for the support I received for this project. In light of what has been happening in my hometown regarding the 43 college students who disappeared and are now feared dead at the hands of local police & a drug gang, I feel that it is more important than ever to host this toy giveaway and bring a little happiness to the children living there.

I created a short video from footage that I took while I was visiting family in June. Here in this video you can see the stark poverty in Iguala. 70 percent of the people in Guerrero live in poverty. Guerrero is one of the poorest states, and now it is also one of the most dangerous states as well.

Thank you to those of you who contributed to my fundraiser. If you didn’t get a chance to contribute, don’t worry; I am planning on doing this every year!
