“Today more than ever, we need the solidarity of the people of Guanajuato. We invite citizens to bring their donations to the collection centers to provide immediate support to those who have lost everything,” said Juan Carlos Montesinos.
“The families of Ocampo need our help to rebuild their lives. Behind every person affected, there is a story. In Guanajuato, we are famous by our kindness, and this is a good time to show solidarity. I invite you to join the People’s Volunteers collection, in which the DIF Guanajuato is participating by activating collection centers where we will be receiving your donations,” said Montesinos.
