The business where it is located is located at 1111 Manuel J. Clouthier street, one block from Tollocan, in the Pilares neighborhood, Metepec municipality, where it has received blankets, caps, gloves, especially warm clothing for babies and people that they lost everything because of the earthquakes, because he remembered that in both countries it is snowing, the low temperatures remain and there are those who have nothing.
He added that the idea arose first in his family, made up of eight members, who began to gather everything possible to send to the victims and then neighbors, employees and owners of neighboring businesses joined and that is how they will carry a first shipment this Thursday to the embassy.
