How to help
  1. Purchase a rug.  There is no commission on sales. All funds go directly to the artist.
  2. Purchase a pattern. 50% goes to the artist.  http://www.rugartsupply.com/
  3. Donate wool fabric or supplies.
  4. Purchase the DVD "The Rug Hookers of Agustin Gonzales" (the $15 goes to pay for promotional materials for the group). For a sample cut click below:

  5. Arrange for a rug show in your area. Contact Charlotte Bell about planning a show
    during a rug hook camp or other event. She can send you rugs for display and sales. You can also have her come to your event and provide a one hour slide show and presentation about the group and life in rural Mexico. 
  6. Donate scholarship money to Mujeres en Cambio for a girls education.  www.mujeresencambio.com
  7. Contribute money for costs of shipping wool to Mexico.
  8. Donate money to a special needs person in the group.
       a. Oralia Crisanto's son has leukemia. 
       b. Petra Ramirez's husband is disabled from a car accident. The drugs to help him with his pain are  expensive. 

  9. The rug hookers sell their rugs at Art shows in San Miguel. We are looking for a donor or donors to help with the cost of starting a PayPal account, $300 per year. With this account they  would be able to accept credit cards. This would be increase sales of  rugs at the shows as well as provide a less expensive method of sending money to Mexico from sales in the USA.
