Book a symbolic overnight stay

Now you can “book” a symbolic overnight stay in houses or apartments that were destroyed by the 7.1-magnitude earthquake that struck Central Mexico on Tuesday, September 19 .

This peculiar proposal offered by Arriba Mexico , a platform created by Mexican publicists Édgar Elorza and Ángel Rodríguez , seeks to raise funds to build shelters and homes, through symbolic leases of uninhabitable spaces in Mexico City , Chiapas , Oaxaca , Morelos , and Puebla .

"With your donations, Arriba Mexico is already placing shelters for homeless families."

The fund administrator is the Disaster and National Emergency Aid Committee ( Comité de Ayuda a Desastres y Emergencias Nacionales abbreviated Cadena ), a civil association founded 12 years ago to prevent and deal with natural disasters, with national and international presence.

Arriba Mexico does not have a bank account, so the contributions go directly to Cadena. Donations from other countries can be made through PayPal .

“It doesn’t matter which place you choose to book, 100% of the raised money will go to a housing reconstruction fund for the states of Morelos , Puebla , Oaxaca , Chiapas and Mexico City through CADENA a non-profit organization.”

The symbolic overnight stays range from MXN$50 to MXN$2,500 per night.
