By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Former Miss Universe Belize, Eris Salguero is pleading for donations to return to Belize with her baby.
In a heartfelt video, Salguero explained her situation and says that she is fighting for the safety and future of her 6-month-old daughter, Eliana.
“I came to the U.S. with hopes of a better life for me and my child, but instead, I was deceived and trapped in an abusive relationship. I have been a victim of domestic violence, kept here against my will, and denied the ability to return home to Belize, where my family and support system are. The emotional, physical, and financial toll of this situation has been devastating, and now I face the unimaginable—losing custody of my precious daughter,” she said.
“Right now, Eliana and I are living in a domestic violence shelter, but our future remains uncertain. I am at risk of losing her to my abuser because I am unable to secure stable housing or legally work to provide for her due to my circumstances. Without proper legal representation, I may not be able to navigate the court system and protect my rights as a mother. The situation is dire, and I can’t do this alone,” Salguero added.
A Gofund me has been launched to assist Salguero.
She needs support to hire an attorney and for a secure home for her and her baby.
“Every donation, no matter how small, will bring me one step closer to keeping my daughter safe and giving her a chance at a bright future. I want nothing more than to provide Eliana with the love, security, and stability she deserves, but I can’t do it alone,” Salguero said.
Belizeans are expressing solidarity with Salguero and her baby.
