Really bad news. After working on trying to get these clothes to Wendy, I spoke to the Mexican Consulate and Mexico will not except used clothing of any sort. After the last earthquake, they accepted used clothing from all around the world and a lot of people got skin diseases, so they will not accept used clothng any more. I asked about new clothing and if it is sent, Wendy could be charged a very high tax on it. I explained that it was for the victims of Hurricane Dean and it doesn't matter. They will only accept used clothing if you take it down yourself. So, it was reccommended that we do not send any clothing at all. I am very this is Sandi's word off and have collected about 210 pounds of clothing and have been phoning everywhere to get this to happen. I want to scream and I want to cry. We will end up sending money, after all of that.
Sorry guys...I really tried.
This was a message form Madison, she has worked hard on this , sorry everyone, it is a no go for maiing used clothing.

Hopefully, that clothing that was collected and cannot be sent to Mexico, could be used by some needy folks in the community where it was collected.
