Build Belize Inc

You can make a difference in the lives of the people affected by Hurricane Lisa, which hit Belize on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022, by donating today to Build Belize Inc.

It is too early to assess the actual damage that the people of Belize experienced when Hurricane Lisa hit Belize. As of this hour, thank God, we have not received any information regarding the loss of lives. However, the pictures coming out of Belize tell a horrific tale (see below). Build Belize Inc is working closely with the service organizations and the Ministry of Diaspora Relations in Belize to identify the most affected areas. Furthermore, based on these findings, Build Belize Inc. will be held fully accountable for prioritizing and disbursing your contribution to finance items we identify as immediate and pressing. Please, for your financial support, your kind contribution will go a long way, regardless of how small.

We will also accept donations of nonperishable goods, clothing, toiletries, etc. We are already in touch with most of the Belize freight forwarding companies, who graciously agreed to ship items to Belize. Very soon, we will announce these drop-off points.

We feel it necessary to share with you that there is much need for roofing - zink and 2x4's, plywood and beaver boards. The pictures and stories justify this need.

Build Belize Inc. invites all individuals and organizations to use our Gofundme page to avoid duplicating efforts.

Please visit our website www.buildbelizeinc.org

Once again, please for your kind contribution.

URGENT MEDICAL APPEAL

From Gianni Rodriguez

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

I am reaching out today with a heavy heart to share some difficult news and to humbly ask for your support.

This past Monday, I underwent a colonoscopy after being unable to afford both the colonoscopy and endoscopy as originally planned. The procedure revealed a serious medical issue—an 18cm tumor in my large intestine, which is currently obstructing normal bowel movement.

A biopsy was taken, and we are now waiting for the results. I continue to pray that the tumor is noncancerous, but regardless of the outcome, the doctors have advised that I will need major colon surgery to remove the section of the intestine where the tumor is located.

This situation has placed an enormous emotional and financial burden on my family and me. The cost of surgery, even if the tumor is not cancerous, is estimated at $150,000–$170,000 Mexican Pesos (approximately $20,000 BZD). As a single mother renting the home we live in, this has left me unable to even begin preparing school supplies for my son.

To date, I have reached out to public representatives for help, but have received no response.

Today, I am asking for your help in any way you can:

Please share this appeal with others.

If you are able to, make a donation—no matter how small.

I have included the colonoscopy report for transparency. Most importantly, please keep me in your prayers—that the biopsy results come back benign, and that I find the strength and resources needed for the road ahead.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with me in this time of need.

With sincere gratitude and love,

Gianni Rodriguez
