With the recent 7.1 earthquake which caused extensive damage in Mexico City and its surrounding areas leaving hundreds dead, thousands of people displaced, and billions of dollars in damage, VIVA, @TradeQwik, Muncapital, and NAOME are coordinating efforts to raise critical funds for the people and infrastructure affected by this devastating earthquake.

Francisco Santillán, a C-Level executive for VIVA Holdings Mexico Operations and NAOME, will be visiting Mexico City to see the devastation first hand, and develop the best plan of action to distribute the collected funds. Details will be posted on our website and social media outlets.
Sending funds is more important than sending "stuff"
- First, an assessment is needed to prioritize what's needed (water, food, shelter)
- It is more efficient and cost-effective to buy locally than to ship items especially if infrastructure is compromised
- Buying locally helps the local economy
- Sending unneeded items poses a challenge on where to store it in disaster areas
Where to donate
VIVA is accepting donations in BTC, LTC, ETH, STEEM and SBD with funds being collected and distributed through @TradeQwik.
We will be sharing details of our crowdfunding as well as pictures of our visit to Mexico City as they come in. Your donations, no matter how small or large can mean the world to those who need it most.
Please help us spread the word.
Thank you,
Team VIVA
