Today, my heart stands with the beautiful country of Mexico especially Puerto Vallarta. 🇲🇽
In February 2025, my family and I experienced one of our most meaningful days there. We met a humble, kind soul who guided us through authentic local places, filling our day with laughter, flavor, and unforgettable memories.
Last year alone, I visited Mexico 4–5 times. To now witness what is happening deeply grieves my heart.
Today, I spoke with Jorge, our tour guide. He shared that food is becoming scarce. Small shops are opening, but they cannot keep up with demand. Larger stores are being looted and vandalized. Families are afraid. Communities are overwhelmed.
This is not just news. These are real people. Real families. Real livelihoods.
This is another heavy blow to the travel industry, and many foreigners are facing incredibly difficult conditions, desperate to leave but unable to.
Travel connects us. Humanity binds us. Compassion strengthens us.
If you have visited Mexico, if you have loved Mexico, if you have friends or family there let’s lift them up in prayer, in support, and in awareness.
May peace be restored. May safety return. May resilience rise stronger than fear.
Mexico is more than headlines. It is culture, warmth, heart, and people who deserve stability and dignity.
Today, we stand together. 🤍
