Today Lucy and I are reporting directly from the ground in Acapulco as the city rises from the shattered glass and mud.

We are now about 10 days into the post-ACApocalypse and for the first time it seems there is some clarity in the chaos.

For the first 5 days after the attack the people had nothing except what we could manage to get to them with your help!

No water
No food
No power
No internet
No help from the government, and
No media coverage

There is hope though.

Ten days in, Bonfil is mostly up and running. And, Lucy and I just visited the children’s home that we support with Anarchapulco – miraculously it has almost no damage, and the kids are busy helping our people package up supplies so we can urgently get them to the poor and outlying areas that are still receiving little to no government help.

In today’s video, I’m talking with Danny Sessoms who has been doing an amazing job coming down to ACA immediately and organizing rescue response, mobilizing resources, and restoring some normality to people who have lost everything.

It’s early days, but it seems we are heading from crisis to recovery.

My house is now open-air (but it seems the buyer is still interested!)
My motorhome – the worst investment I ever made and which I had also just got a buyer for before the ACApocalypse – has a giant hole in the back.
My boat… not sure yet.

But none of this matters. Because…

“Once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
