Death of a fishermanSubmitted by Huehuete Bob on 30 January, 2007 - 18:46.
I have posted a couple of blogs about my friend Catalan who died while diving for lobsters off the coast in Casares Nicaragua. Now I would like to ask for help for his surviving family who have no income now. Below is a message that I have sent to others. Note that money is not something that would help them. It was very difficult seeing him in his rented coffin. His body was bloated and black from all the hemorrhaged blood vessels. When they buried him he was still oozing blood from his nose and eyes. I am going to help his widow and children to get started in the fishing business again. It would be good if some of you could help too. Not with money because no matter how much of a friend he was to me and how much I want to help his family money would just probably be misused. Food, fishing equipment, books and school equipment for his children would help. I am going to ask for donations on other sites and hopefully something will come. Could you maybe check around some of the sites you visit? ( categories: )

Ok
My paypal account is under robert_cefalu@yahoo.com Anything you can do to help will be welcome. Send care packages is best. If you live here in Nicaragua come with me and meet the family. I hate to use my personal account for this because it may look like you will not know where the money is going. But I promise to show the benefits for this family with pics and to translate through a friend their appreciation and how you have helped them..

Comfort and Peace
Hi Bob, Please accept my condolences. Deepest Sympathy to You and Yours for the loss of your friend. That was a very bad scene for all of you. I wish you comfort and peace in this difficult time. Dave
I would like to offer assistance Bob
I personally would prefer to send some money with the proviso that YOU buy what you think is needed most, especially for his kids. Please let me know how I can best arrange my donation so it gets to you. P.M. me if you think it best.
