Two weeks ago in Mexicali, a government old folks home burned down killing 17 and injuring 26 of their people. Enter inspectors investigations and bureaucrats. Now all old folks homes in Baja are to be inspected and updated.
The Government gives these inspected old folks homes not money, but two months to comply with Fire Safety or they will be closed down.
Of course these old folks are on the edge of death any way, but laws are laws, regulations are regulations and indeed safety is very important.
Translated: Chuy is suddenly hit with a big bill!
Pastor Chuy let me know of this morning, and with 150 oldsters he's rightly concerned about where he's going to get the money to upgrade the home. It's a package of about $1,500. Quite a challenge.
When I say "worthless" it elicits mixed emotions, these oldsters contribute nothing to society in fact they now depend on society.
God loves each of these old people, although I can't speak for His Children ... we haven't much but we're going to pitch in.
If you want to send some help Chuy's way ... On your check write Pastor Von (Place stick-em note with Pastor Chuy's Old Folks Home.) and mail to:
