Just wanted to give everyone an update on donations collected. So far since Hurricane Dean struck the Mahahual area, we've collected a whopping $28,552.13! Yesterday was the first day since we started that a donation didn't come into the account. We have another trip planned for Wednesday where we'll be taking down many of the current needs: food, mosquito nets, mosquito repellent and some focused help for some individual families.

Again, the ONLY aide coming into this area is from private donations. There is still no organized relief efforts in the Mahahual area.

If you still wish to donate, it's not too late. Simply go to www.paypal.com and click on the "Send Money" tab. The account to use is helpthechicas@lunabluehotel.com.

Thanks again to all the wonderful people who donated time, money and other items to help these people. Believe us, your donations have made a HUGE difference to the people of Mahahual and the outlying communities. Regardless of what happens to this region in the future, these donations made this tough time a lot better for many, many people.

Thanks again!
