The funds have been raised, the structure has been evaluated. Now we just wait until Andre's father comes up with a plan and the materials to start reinforcing the house. We estimate that the damage is around $5000 and luckily we raised just over that!
This is going to be a slow process, but we will get it done! Photos to come!

Updates!
Not sure how many people are checking the site lately, but here is an update! Andre and Chelsea are back from PAP. They evaluated the family's home and have come up with about $5000 dollars worth of repairs that need to be done. This is great news because we raised roughly $7000 for their cause!
I will have photos as they come and progress reports as I know about them. The main thing is that the family is safe and with the repairs they can inhabit their house without fear of collapse with or without another earthquake.
At this point Andre, Chelsea, and Action Santa Cruz are moving on! Donations can still be made to the Cherer's until December 31st of 2010. Each donation should note Andre, Chelsea, The Cherer's, Andre's Family, or something along those lines. That will help me straighten out where the money goes.
I would also like to say that I will be issuing tax receipts in May. If you have not received one by the end of May, please let me know and I will send it out to you.
I am so grateful for the community in and around Santa Cruz for their amazing support! Our fundraisers really did help a family who was blindsided by a terrible natural disaster. Each and every one of you holds a special place in all of our hearts and I can't say how much it means to me personally to be a part of this.
If anyone would like to see our donations spreadsheet and/or how the money has been doled out, please let me know. I will hide the names to just initials to protect the innocent. I want everyone to feel comfortable that %100 percent of the proceeds went to Andre's family and that there is no funny business. :-)
Keep up the great work & look for more projects from us in the future!
