WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HONDURAS
*UPDATED 11/08/20
Hey guys, I know most of us havenât been paying much attention to the world given that we have been going through a tough time with elections atm, but I wanted to shine light on the situation going on in Central America, primarily Honduras (which is my homecountry). As some might know, a hurricane struck Central America a few days ago and people have been critically affected by this natural disaster.
A lot of people in Honduras have lost their homes (including some of my family members) due to the crazy rain and winds going on. There have been many people gone missing as well as many fatalities in various zones of the country. Many of my friends and family members back home have been working hard to gather donations and seeking refuge for those who have lost their homes.
Our airports are completely flooded which is making it harder for international help to come.
I decided to gather some links and articles for donations and more information regarding this horrible catastrophe happening currently. Any amount that you can give, even if itâs just passing the word for awarness, would help so so so many people.
Our government is one of the most corrupt governments in the world and if we donât help our people, no one will. We have lost so many people due to COVID-19, we canât keep loosing our people due to the lack of response from our government. ** the government has issued a crazy tax percentage for those who are trying to bring donations of foods and clothes from the outaide of the country. They do anything they can to get money from the suffering of our people. This is why, only NON-government affiliated fundraisers are the beat option at the moment.

** IF YOU SEE ANY DONATION LINKS LINKED TO THE GOVERNMENT DO NOT DONATE THERE. THEY WILL USE THOSE DONATIONS FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT. THE PEOPLE WILL NOT SEE OR GET THESE DONATIONS!!
Thank you so much for reading this and I know my people will get out of this one, we always do. Feel free to add more links if found, I will be adding more as soon as I get in contact with my friends back home that are organizing fundraisers for these families!
I updated a few things and added a GoFundMe link created by my family. All the funds raised will be sent to help thw community we used to live in that was critically affected. They currently have no clean water and electricity, and most of the local bug chains are trying to take advantage of these people by overcharging them for small necessary items such as shoes, toiletteries, and canned goods. Please, if you can help spread the word it would mean so much to us. Thank you to those who have helped and shared this post, you have no idea how many people you are helping by doing this! đ
