Apologize if this has already been discussed but I did not see it in a quick search. For those of you who know Pedro, the beach vendor selling the jewelry that his wife, Norma, makes, Norma has been hospitalized with a stroke. The family’s income has been understandably reduced over the last two years and the medical bills are quite significant and more than they can pay. Lean on me international is collecting funds, as are a few private donors in the Facebook groups that know him. The details are on Facebook but I’m happy to share the PayPal and/or Venmo addresses if you need them.

For those of you who don’t know Pedro, he’s an absolute staple of the Isla scene. A kind, generous person who is always happy to see you and has done so many nice favors for me and others over the years. I know there have been a great many asks lately, but please think of him if you are able.
