Man raises money to help poor in Mexico

MILFORD, Iowa — Just about every May, Paul “Jak” Eich packs up his car and heads north from his current home in Mexico to his former home area of southwest Minnesota-northwest Iowa. The purpose of this trip isn’t just to reconnect with family and friends. He also hopes to raise money to help the poor people — children in particular — in his adopted town of Zitacuaro, Michoacán, Mexico.
