The organizers of United in Hearts July 24 event for Cruz Roj reported that total monies earned through ticket sales, silent and bidding art auction, and cash donations amounted to $230,672 pesos, a phenomenal amount for a weeknight fundraiser. According to the organizers this money will be matched by an anonymous American donor, bringing the total to approximately $460,000 pesos, all of which will go toward the completion of the new clinic at Cruz Roja’s facility in Chapala. Cruz Roja Honorary President and the event organizers wish to thank La Reserva, the many business sponsors of the events, and the very generous cash donations for the overwhelming success of fundraising for the new clinic. And they wish to thank the many volunteers who worked to raise funds for the clinic. Cruz Roja is part of the Mexican Red Cross, a private, non-governmental institution that mobilizes networks of volunteers, communities and donors to operate healthcare and emergency services. Its services are free, including ambulance transportation and emergency medical care. Cruz Roja Chapala discovered that its years- old existing clinic was sinking due to subsidence and is in the final stages of completing a new, expanded building. Cruz Roja receives no government money and Yolanda Martinez and her network of donors and volunteers are very close to their goal of finishing the new building. Other events are now being planned for the final funding drive.

Days before the beginning of this year, authorities once again warned of phone calls from criminals attempting to extort money from residents based on lies and fear. Jocotepec President José Miguel Gómez López warned of the situation through a video posted on the City of Jocotepec’s Facebook page. He mentioned even government offices have seen their own cases. “People attempting to frighten and extort money through a series of calls to residents and public offices have triggered investigations into these cases,” Gómez López said in the video. Gómez López also reported that the extortionists pose as members of a criminal group and collect personal information to cause uncertainty and fear in their victims. “Many callers, supposedly from the Jalisco Cartel New Generation, recite call recipients’ full names, addresses, and other data that they have been collecting for some time. The callers then start demanding amounts of 40,000 pesos, then reduce their demand to 30,000, then 20,000. Many people are falling victim to this extortion.” “These are people who are not even here in Jocotepec. Their contacts (most of whom are in prison or other states) pass them the information needed to make these calls. But they are all profiteers. They are professional extortionists who are simply dedicated to intimidate and frighten people in an attempt to separate them from their money,” the president said. Gómez López reassured Jocotepec residents that the city is calm. He asked recipients of these calls to simply hang up. This is not the first time that telephone extortion attempts have been reported in the municipality. Translated and edited by MaryAnne Marble
