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

- 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.
- Donate scholarship money to Mujeres en Cambio for a
girls education. www.mujeresencambio.com
- Contribute money for costs of shipping wool to Mexico.
- 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.
- 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.
