On Saturday, there were possibly more then 11 people who perished in a mudslide that happened near Temascatepec and state that runs alongside Mexico state.
Officials in Mexico and the President of Mexico Felipe Calderon are trying to help people with children find some kind of shelter, food, medical supplies and some cash to help them get things together again.
