Indeed life is not fair. In Mexico justice is directly proportional to how much money is involved that's why I have to carry hundreds of dollars of cash on my person. Dangerous, of course ... and I well know money doesn't end corruption, it feeds it, at least where I work that's the case.
Rafa was standing on the corner. A cab was parked near him near the curb. The young woman driving the cab revved the engine and then something went terribly wrong; she slammed the car in reverse and pressed hard on the accelerator! The taxi zoomed backward jumped the curb running hard into Rafa standing there. The bumper rammed into his left leg in such a way as they couldn't extract his leg from the cab. Red Cross was called and ended up cutting off his leg to free him from the cab. A public, painful and bloody mess.
Could Rafa get financial help from the cab company? In our Country of course he cold ... but this occurred in Mexico. The girl driving the cab was the daughter of the owner of the fleet of cabs. Oddly enough the judge ruled in favor of the cab company and poor Rafa got nothing. Unfortunately, the judges in Mexico are crooked, the police are crooked, the institutions are crooked. In Mexico the only good guy you have on your side is your money.
Yes, we are helping people like Rafa, and his handicapped son Ronaldo trying to live on only $60.00 per month. We are helping many others like him. The two of them are living in a little one room bungalow that an American charity group built.
Thanks for making this good stuff happen.
