HarryB Posted August 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Many thanks to Brian D for giving us a good start in helping the bomberos get beds. I've beeen told only their ambulances locally have defribulators and their EMTs come from the local hospitals. Come on they help us in so many ways; don't they at least deseve usable beds ? Drop off usable bases and clean mattresses at the fireststation . Email me at ms1cb@yahoo.com amd I'll have them picked up. Or, send US dollars to that email adress on paypal. I will report back! Thanks in advance to all who help! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thank you to Mary M for getting us closer to our Bombero bed goal. We are checking all local suppliers for the best price for a medium quality bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 I missed thanking Louis Q for his donation to the bombero bed effort. My apologies! These folks have come forward to help people we depend on every day. We are now ready to ask the municipality for their match. The community has done its part now the government should help!

HarryB Posted August 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thanks again to the above donors. Yesterday on Bombero Day we delivered 8 pillow top mattresses to the Firehouse on the Libramiento. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFan Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Well done Harry! Out of curiosity, did the municipality contribute anything? SunFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 The muni doesn't even pay enough to keep the engines in good repair so we can't expect them to contribute for their employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 No, we decided to give up asking. It is just a waste of time. Hopefully Dale Palfrey will do an article and embarasse them into helping. The bases were too expensive for us to afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne, can you put together a price for single bed bases? I'm sure Harry can raise a few more pesos for such a good cause. SunFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Have Hammers is there to learn the trade so would help with bed base experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 We discussed Have Hammers and thought the material cost would still be excessive for our donors and we could then only provide fewer mattresses. They have been very generous in helping us out in the past and we were reluctant to ask them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
