Corey Connolly hasn't added a story.
Hi, I'm Corey Connolly. I'm running this campaign to help the families that were affected by the earthquakes in Mexico. My reason for wanting to help is that my partner and her family are Mexican and they have witnessed first hand how devastating this has been on the people that were already unfortunate even before the World threw them a natural disaster.
I was saddened by even the first paragraph of the article below (Please read) that talks about the school where 30 small children perrished under rubble while they were simply trying to learn. A simple thing we take for granted.
My goal is to raise a minimum of $2000 with which I personally will buy and deliver supplies to the children and families that are in need. The money will not be given to an organization and we will video record all our donations and hand outs.
If you could help with any sum of money and/or a SHARE on FB that would be appreciated, for $10 you can supply a family with clean bottled water for a week. A small amount from you could make the week of one family.
His tiny frame, pulled from the wreckage, lay over the jagged pieces of what remained of the school. It was his 7-year-old son.
He sat in shock for hours, quietly trying to maintain strength for his 9-year-old daughter, who had escaped the school unharmed. He wondered how to tell her that her younger brother, also named Gustavo, was dead — one of at least 30 children who perished at the Enrique Rebsámen school after it collapsed in the earthquake that devastated Mexico on Tuesday, killing more than 200 people.
