Bocxe's wife, Elisabeth Esguerra Rosas remains missing and is believed to have died during the collapse, while 5-year-old daughter Amara remains safe as she was still at school at the time of the quake.
A gofundme initiative aims to collect USD$100,000 for Bocxe as organized by friends Santiago Lyon and J.B. Diederich, "We are appealing to all Wesley's friends and colleagues to donate what they can as Wesley and his family face a long and difficult road ahead." https://www.gofundme.com/4gloto8
Bocxe remains in the intensive care unit of Mexico's General Hospital and is expected to successfully undergo surgery shortly.
Owner and founder of camera bag systems company Newswear in 1988, Bocxe is known for his photo coverage of contemporary conflicts in Central America and Iraq, as well as Somalia humanitarian crisis, among others. Also, his work has been featured in Life, Time and Newsweek magazines.
