Nora Huricane in Puerto Vallarta: How and Where to Help
Updated: September 1, 2021.
Hurricane Nora left human tragedies and substantial material damages over the weekend after torrential rains and heavy winds in Puerto Vallarta and many more places in the state of Jalisco, including Cihuatlán, La Huerta, Tomatlán, Ciudad Guzmán and more.
In Puerto Vallarta, two rivers burst, destroying a bridge Downtown, flooding roads and bringing a building to collapse. Pictures and videos show flooding, felled trees, damaged roads and power lines across several states.
As always, the community itself, along with different volunteers, organizations, businesses are offering great help to those in need, and we’d like to share that information with you, with information collected from all those kind people that are helping, because by helping we can make a difference in many people’s lives.
We’ll keep updating this list so please come back to see the updated information.
Refugio Canino Atardecer
The Sunset Canine Shelter needs us! It was also affected by the #HuracanNora and 34 dogs had to be evacuated, now they ask for our support.
All the animals managed to evacuate them but they are full of mud and need volunteers to bathe them on the weekend.

Tragically, a boy died in the collapse of a building next to the River Cuale.
His family lost their son and their home. Francie, one of the selfless founders of the Vallarta Food Bank, also lost her restaurant in the same building collapse. There is a Go Fund Me for them: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8CtVsZgmJi
Thanks to all those who are supporting the improvement of the affected areas and people!
