Lisa Staine, Mother
"She was born with spina bifida, she got surgery when she was young to close up the spine. After they close up the surgery, it leaves her paralyze. The new wheelchair will help her to move around better because her old one is still good but one of the wheels is higher than the other."
The total value of the items brought down for this trip is valued around ten thousand U.S dollars, which has been gathered through fundraising, small donations drives and the investment of personal cash of the founders of Ms. Belize-America Organization.
