The gay community in Vallarta is organizing a collection of basic necessities for fellow Mexicans affected by the disastrous flooding in Tabasco State. As you may have heard, 80% of the state is under water. The residents are in dire need of food, medicines and other basics:
- Non-perishable items such as canned tuna or other meats, canned vegetables
- Rice, beans, sugar
- Ultra-pasteurized milk – non refrigerated type
- Baby formula
- Basic medicines including antibiotics, anti-diarrhea medicines, aspirin, skin creams (skin infections are common in flooding situations), etc.
- Cash donations are not recommended for this effort, but the banks all have accounts set up to accept donations if you prefer to donate cash.
Please bring your donation to:
Hotel Mercurio
Calle Francisca RodrÃguez #168
Colonia Emiliano Zapata

Questions? Call Hotel Mercurio at 222-4793. Anyone on staff will be able to assist you.
No later than MONDAY NOVEMBER 5, at 3 PM. The residents of Tabasco need help TODAY!
They will deliver the collected items to the local Red Cross (Cruz Roja) in the name of the local PV Gay Business Community and Supporters, on Monday afternoon.
This effort will be communicated to the local media, and we will ask reporters to publish a short article listing the businesses who donated to this important project. This will be an opportunity for our local Gay businesses to do something worthwhile to help people outside of our community who are in serious need NOW, while gaining some positive local media exposure for Gay businesses and the Gay community of Puerto Vallarta.
