Four years ago my mother and father bought me a Personal Weather
Station (PWS) as a gift for achieving my whole education and to
encourage my real passion, Meteorology.
This weather station was a real hard work for them, so I took
care and protected the best I could. Thanks to my parents I reached my
goal after a long wait, and now I run a nonprofit weather association
that solely warns and alerts the population in my country about a
weather phenomenons or disasters for free.
Sadly on September 14th 2014, the mighty hurricane Odile
category 3 with winds up to 125mph destroyed all my town, and with
this my weather station could not bear the strong winds, I wasn´t able
to be there and my father couldn´t get off the station from the roof.
Also I lost an old Windows computer that I used to conect the
weather station console. Those were my tools I used to make forecasts
for my people and tourists in town.
The cost to replace the
parts of the station or buy a new one with a new computer are about 20
000 mexican pesos or 1495 US dollars. I will appreciate all the help
you can bring me in order to maintain this dream.
Kind regards

Hace cuatro años, mi mamá y mi papá me compraron una estación meteorológica personal, como regalo por concluir toda mi educación y alentar mi verdadera pasión, la meteorología.
Esta estación meteorológica les costó mucho conseguirla, así que la cuidé y protegí lo mejor que pude. Gracias a mis papás alcancé la meta después de una larga espera, ahora tengo una asociación meteorológica sin fines de lucro que solamente informa y alerta a la población de mi país acerca de un fenómeno meteorológico o desastre natural de manera gratuita.Tristemente el 14 de septiembre de 2014, el poderoso huracán Odile de categoría 3, con vientos que superaron los 210km/h destruyeron mi pueblo, mi estación no pudo soportar los fuertes vientos, yo no pude estar ahí en ese momento y mi papá no pudo bajar la estación del techo.
Incluso perdí mi antigua computadora Windows que usaba para
conectar la consola de la estación para que pudiera reportar en vivo.
Estas fueron mis herramientas que utilizaba para hacer mis pronósticos
para mi gente y turistas en la ciudad.
El costo para remplazar las partes o comprar una estación
meteorológica nueva con una nueva computadora es cerca de $20 000.00
mxn (Veinte mil pesos mexicanos) o 1 495 dólares estadounidenses.
Agradeceré toda la ayuda que me pudieran brindar para continuar con mi
sueño de ser meteorólogo.
Saludos cordiales
