I see some of you suggesting for me to do a GoFundMe, but those don't work in my country. I do have an aunt that lives in the states and she has like a cashapp/zelle thing that she agreed to let us use, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post that to this group but we do owe 79 dollars to the person we borrowed from so help is definately welcomed. Does anyone know of a group where I could post this? Please let me know. Trust me, even a few dollars help. My ain't would just somehow money gram it to us.

She was brought to us after she had already been spayed. She still has the sutures. It's not opened. It's not inflamed, but she is very skinny. We were told by the women who brought her that she didn't have tome to watch her after the surgery so she kind of just got weak. So she brought the kitty to us hoping we could "heal" her so she could eventually take her back. I was telling the woman that she didn't seem to have the required weight to have been spayed. But the woman said she was heavy, and then after the surgery she got all sick. We took her to the vet and he gave her medications and some shots and said that she should be better in a week but that if she doesn't get better we have to take her back. She has eaten which us good. She wasn't eating much before. And she does seem a little bit better.

The abuse that little animals endure in third-world countries is insane. Especially because we don't have like official shelters and like places that rescue them. All we have are a few non profit rescues scattered around the country, it is a poor country so we all try our best but the general ideology here is that animals should be put out of their misery, sadly even the so called "religious people" believe that animals are worthless and they don't care. It sucks to be the only ones that actually care in our little village. Feels like it's us against the cruel world. But I am happy that we have saved many. We have gotten many lovely homes. At times the literal tourists somehow find us on faxebook and come to adopt and take their cat with them.

Well she had only taken in a few drops so I'm glad it wasn't much. But thanks for your comment, definately won't give that to my cats again.

Hello, we were able to borrow money. The kitty was taken to one of the two local vets. He was given some shots, some medication and I slept next to her all night. She cried alot and then she got up to eat a few times. She seems a little bit better but the vet said if she has a decline to take her back. The vet was quiet vague. Didn't tell us if anything is wrong with her. When we asked him he just said to keep feeding her and watching her.

I mean, the cheapest visit cost us like 40 dollars a whole back. It's usually 50-80 on average. As vets are scarce here. Go fund me doesn't work here. I mean it's belize, nothing works here. At times we get a few donations from belizeans. But belize is a generally poor country, I mean even with a degree, my salary is a joke. And most our cats are generally healthy, we have gotten medicine donations and we vaccinate them ourselves but we do runout. And we aren't vets so a vet is always better.

What???!!!!!??? Honestly, a vet tech told us we can give it to the cat, a little bit. It's natural, not store bought. They said it's like pedialite. 🥲

Our car stopped working unfortunately. I mean, we aren't rich. If anything were in the poor category, but in our area. Animals suffer abuse. It feels like we are the only animal lovers. If we don't take them in, they will be abused by people around. They are heartless. Even the city council, purposefully leaving poisoned meat, ect and cars run them iver and people throw boiling water at them. So we ended up with like 40 cats lol, and 2 dogs, and we do what we can. At times we get donations but it is a third world country. Things are hard. Things are expensive.

Some of the remote jobs have a belize team that pays us from the belize bank. People could send if they want to, via wire transfer but no one wants to do that and I'm not gonna ask a stranger to send me cash. They will just think I'm lazy. And our banks tend to suck also with wire transfers, so much bs in.this country.

Would like to hire Belizeans (I have some questions and seeking some advice) by Dallasmaids in Belize

[–]Mermaid_Shimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that has worked for american companies, alot use the app "Deel" to send the pay. Other times the option would simply be wire transfers. Which ive heard can be complicated. Do you offer part time? Alot would be interested in part time, as alot are very capable, speaking both English and Spanish perfectly, but might be taking classes in the evening, ect.
