They are going to help people of La Plata. Check out their website for more information. They are highly respected and do good work. Look, all we want to do is help and so we are helping. I don't really feel like battling it out here on baexpats, I just naively though that people might be...

As it says right in the beginning of the post, all the money raised is going to Red Solidaria, the one of the main NGOs coordinating the relief efforts.

Happy ending for the cat at least! She's with us in San Telmo and is adjusting to life with another cat. I present Chancy Hermanito

I have to agree! She's also a ringer for our other cat - Hermanito. They're still getting used to each other. No fights, but some hissing. They both talk quite a bit, which is interesting and cute.
