Hello generous scubaboarders!

A very dear and beloved local ex-pat on the island is going through some serious medical issues with very expensive treatments, even here in Mexico. We are pulling together in efforts to raise money to assist her with her medical procedures and associated expenses while she is in Merida for her treatments!

The local business community has pulled together donating lodging packages, diving packages, fishing charters, and many other island activities. We will be having a live auction and fundraiser on August 22 at the Money Bar for anyone on the island interested in coming out! We are also having an online auction to reach those of you who cannot be here and to reach a larger audience in general! These are services and activities that you would purchase ANYWAY if coming to the island, so why not buy it now for your next trip to help a very loved and amazing member of our community!

Just a sample of what is up for grabs: Lodging and diving with Blue Angel, diving with Blue XT~Sea, Papa Hogs, Liquid Blue; more lodging form private condo owners, Sabor, Aura, Occidenal Grand and more; fishing with Albatross Charters, Surfing lessons with Nacho...Many great items up for bid! I am sure more will be added as well! Your help is very much appreciated! Please also feel free to share on facebook or anywhere else you wish!

Here is the online auction site!

There are some great offerings in that auction!
 
Thank you mods for letting us have this here :)
 
Joni is our next door neighbour, I live right on the corner, my wife and I (among many friends) are taking care of her kitties and her home.

She´s a very nice lady and a friend, thank you all for placing bids, there are some incrdible bargains there, and I´ll place a bid for that plane ride around the island, I used to be a pilot in my 20´s.

We really miss her,

Alex
 
...quoting from another board:

Some of you might have met Joni Mitchell on a visit to Cozumel. She lives on the island and is very active in many activities especially the Humane Society. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and is being treated in Merida. Six weeks of radiation and 6 months of chemo. She had to set up a small apartment, pay for all her medical, RX etc. Since she has no medical coverage she has quickly liquidated her savings.

The benefit at the Money Bar is Aug 22nd with a live and silent auction. There is also an online bidding site with some incredible Villas, Tours, Dive packages (Blue Angel & Blue XTSea) etc.... If want to get a great deal and help Joni out please take a look at this auction site at the link below....

Hi Christine! Thanks for reposting :) I actually posted it here a few days ago and the mods moved it. It is now up in the marketplace section! But this is good - MORE exposure :)
 
The Marketplace? Well, there you go, I didn't see your post. Judging from the positive posts on Blue XTSea and Blue Angel, I thought the online auction would interest a few....
