In support of Mexico and Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico

In September, our fellow Latinos living in Mexico and Puerto Rico experienced natural catastrophes with devastating consequences. The series of earthquakes that struck Mexico left more than three hundred dead, at least forty buildings collapsed, and hundreds of houses with major damages.

Hurricane María hit Puerto Rico as hard. Bringing winds of more than 150 miles per hour and tens of inches of rain, the hurricane left more than 50 dead, destroyed thousands of houses, and isolated hundreds of people without access to food, drinking water, or communication with anyone they could not reach on foot.

Seeing the size of these tragedies, Latinos Unidos de Alaska organized a fundraiser for fellow Latinos in need. The event took place on November 17 at Kincaid Park chalet. Revenue from the tickets and a benefit auction totalled $14,368.24. After rental and ticket printing costs of $1,379.81, $12,988.43 will be divided between the two communities. In Mexico, the money will be used to rebuild houses in Santiago Tepetlixpa, State of Mexico. In Puerto Rico, Wapa TV will distribute the donation among families in need.

Latinos Unidos de Alaska thanks the institutions and people who donated items for the auction or supported the fundraiser in any other way: Alaska Fur Exchange, Alaska Latin Tours, Allen & Peterson, AK Starfish Co., Aspen Hotel, Benihana Restaurant, Carlos Mexican Restaurant, Carl’s Jewelers, Captain Cook Hotel, El Rodeo, Excalibur Sports, Fourth Avenue Boutique, Gallos Mexican Restaurant, Grassroots, Great Harvest Bread Company, Indigo Lounge, Kaladi Brothers Coffee, La Cabaña Mexican Restaurant, Longaberger, Lularu, Mariachi Agave Azul, Sweet Caribou, Magic Moments Magician, Middle Way Cafe, Moose’s Tooth, Nations Law, Municipality of Anchorage, Peppercini’s, Lucy’s Nails, Pancho Villa Restaurant, Planet Beach Spa, Sephora, Shades of Competition, Solara, Spenard Roadhouse, South Restaurant, Speedy Glass, Steam Dot Coffee, Suit 100, The Look, Turnagain Crossfit, Two Friends Gallery, Uptown & Athletics, Younique, Sergio and Ana Acuña, Indra Arriaga, Miguel Choreño, Constanza Dennis, DJ Alex, Daniel Esparza, Katherine and Hugo Forest, Tony Gasbarro, Mariana Herrera, Lauren Horn, Rafael León, Macuca Cuca, Lina Mariscal, Araceli Mayers, Gabriela Olmos, Héctor Ortiz and his band, Dulce Quintanar Whited, Alirio Rojas, Mónica Sullivan, Itzel Yarger.
