#MAKEITHAPPEN

Diego Luna, Gael García Bernal, Ambulante and Omaze joined
forces to help the victims of the recent earthquakes in Mexico.
Their crowdfunding platform raised over a million dollars with
15,000 backers in the first month and guarantees that Ambulante
will distribute 100 per cent of the funds received directly to local
organizations and social initiatives dedicated to helping those
most affected by this catastrophe.
Juanpa Zurita, and actor Ben Stiller, among others are promoting
Zurita’s GoFundMe campaign dubbed #LoveArmyMexico.
This campaign for recovery efforts following the harrowing
earthquake events has raised to date more than $1,400,000 U.S.
The equivalent of the Mexican version of the League of Heroes
launched Fuerza México Trust which in conjunction with the
Americas Society hosted a fundraiser at 680 Park Avenue, New
York with Academy Award-winning film director and producer
Alejandro González Iñárritu, CEO extraordinaire Alejandro
Ramírez, and the organizing committee of friends of Mexico in
support of the earthquake victims of Mexico.
Another worthy organization was recently recognized with a
Heart in Hand Award for its fight against domestic violence and
human trafficking. Actress Somy Ali’s organization No More
Tears based in Miami, Florida has rescued over 3,000 victims
of human trafficking and domestic violence. It is run entirely by
volunteers and 100 per cent of all donations are used for victim
assistance. To help, contact: heartinhandawards.org.
