To Latina Mothers, With Love: A Refrigerator From America – Today is Mothers Day in much of Latin America
Tagged: El Salvador, Honduras, latin america, latina, Mexico, money transferPosted on: May 10th, 2007“Latino immigrants have been lining up 20 deep at Todos Supermarket in Woodbridge to send an extra $50 or $100 home to Central America. Money transfers to the region peak this time of year. Phone companies say calls to Latin America will surge this morning. And its high season for online and catalogue retailers that allow immigrants to ship refrigerators and microwaves directly to homes in Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras.
Today is Mothers Day in much of Latin America, and scattered families are displaying their devotion. Forget the potted geranium. Theyre sending their mothers appliances or cold cash with the flowers and greeting cards.”
