Article from Garifuna Queens Organization page: Help if you can.

It's not always easy to ask for help. During our trip to Honduras, we were approached by a woman that wanted to know about our Organization. This was the very same day we had the Hot Dog day for the kids in Bajamar, Honduras. I sat down with her and spoke to her about our mission and what have we been able to accomplish so far. She was excited and told us how she was part of an organization years back. As we spoke about what was going on she told us that she wanted us to see a house where a Garifuna woman lived. She told us how she was very concern about her living conditions.
�
We agreed that we will stop by the next day. The next day around 1pm we stopped by the lady house and she took us to Queen Rosava house. As we approached Rosava house we couldn't believe our eyes and how anyone was living like that in 2016.
�
We approached this wooden leaning fragile house that seems to be waiting on a strong wind to blow it away. It was unbelievable how a couple and their special needs child lived in there. This house suffered from various malfunctions. The unmade bed was piled high with clothes and household items. It's obvious to see that there's no space in this house and the two beds took up most of the space. We were unable to meet Rosava that day, she was in the near by city of Puerto Cortes looking for assistance. We did speak to her husband who was sitting outside underneath a coconut tree. It was very obvious that he was in no shape to go to work or assist his wife due to his disability. She bears all the responsibilities for the household. Rosava has three kids but only her young son lives with them. Rosava and her family living conditions are very bad and we have vowed to help them.

Our goal is to gather up some funds and build her a decent liveable home in her home town of Bajamar, Honduras. We have been doing our research and with the help of Garifuna Queens Honduras runned by Queen Elsa Colon. We would need to collect $3,000 dollars to buy the material needed and to pay for the labor. We have spoken to several individuals who are willing to help build her home once we get the needed materials. Our goal is to complete her house before December of 2016 for the winter season.

If your loved one lived in these conditions, would you help them? And if you couldn't help them, would you want someone to help them?
This is a reality for a fellow Queen.
If we can get a $1 from 3,000 friends, her life will change.
We need your help.

Hasanigu Garinagu would like to keep you updated on our progress. Due to your generous donations we were able to accomplish our goals for 2015.

Your donations allowed us to do the following:

• In February we were able to provide school supplies to 200 children in a small town in Honduras called Travesia.

• In August we provided a $500 college scholarship to the brilliant and beautiful Garinagu college student Katherine Guerrero after she submitted an outstanding essay about the challenges she faced preserving her Garifuna culture while growing up in America

• In September we were able to provide 25 student desk to the elementary school/ highschool of Travesia

We are appreciative of your donations and support. We understand the importance of education and would like to continue to support our Garifuna youth.

For 2016 we are currently working to provide school supplies for the upcoming school period, supply the rest of the classroom with new school desks, and condition each classroom with a paint job and industrial fans.

Your donation will help us meet these goals. Hasanigu Garinagu is lucky to have you as a donor, thank you for investing in our organization and in the cause we are serving. The children are excited to go to school and we are eager to keep that excitement burning.

Thank you again for your support and investment to our group, and your belief that our students deserve a better education and comfortable environment.

Please sign this petition to keep Julio Gonzalez behind bars. The Happy Land incident was tragic and this monster does not deserve to be released on parole. Please see below for more information.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PS1Ii4-3u0

March 25, 1990 around 3:30am, Julio Gonzalez forever altered the lives of 87 Garifuna-American families in New York City what became known as the Happy Land tragedy. Julio Gonzalez was convicted of 174 counts of murder--two counts for each death.

He received 25 years to life for each count, but the sentences run concurrently. He is up for parole in November 2014. He is a menace to a civil society, and does not deserve to engage with a normal population.

Please sign the petition urging the parole board to reject his petition for parole in November 2014. March 25, 1990 around 3:30am is a timestamp many families do not wish to remember.
