The news is not good. Alma, who had volunteered to get the mail, backed out when she realized that she would have to take a taxi back from the Melaque PO--an expense that she cannot afford. She also said that "no one wants to do it," so I guess we're on our own.

I was thrilled when, after two years of searching, I found the perfect scooter for myself and Agustin on Friday, December 8. The purchase was immediately confirmed by bank notification, but when I questioned why they had not yet been shipped, the company told me that the items were still in my shopping cart and refused to accept my purchase verification. After a week of arguing, I have to give up because apparently I was scammed, and this company has my debit card number. I can't afford the time or money to start over again, so I hope that someone else can try to find the perfect vehicle for Agustin to get around.

I tried to do two good deeds for the community and failed at both. I am quite downhearted and very sorry.
