Family Organizes Fundraiser to Help 21-Year-Old Tarrell Sutherland With Urgent Medical Costs
If you've watched Channel 7 over the years, you may remember Tarrell Sutherland. He first appeared on Channel 7 when he was just a kid suffering from a rare skin disease.
Well, now he's 21, and tonight, the family of 21-year-old Tarrell needs your help again as he battles severe health complications associated with that same skin condition.
The young man is currently experiencing an extremely painful period in his ongoing health battle.
His doctors urgently require a CT scan, ultrasounds, and blood work to determine the appropriate course of treatment.
However, the family is seeking financial assistance to cover the medical expenses. To help raise funds, the family is organizing a BBQ fundraiser on Saturday at #16 Guadalupe Street in Belize City:
Pickup and delivery services will be offered, and orders can be placed by calling 615-9413. Persons who are unable to purchase a meal but still wish to contribute to Tarrell's medical fund are also encouraged to reach out directly to his mother.
US FAA Nationwide Ground Stop Halts Flights From Belize to Miami and Houston
It hasn't happened since 9/11 in 2001, but tonight, for the first time in 25 years, the United States Federal Aviation Administration announced a rare nationwide ground stop on Friday afternoon, halting nearly all departures from US airports and stranding thousands of passengers. It's being called a major, unexplained outage affecting its air traffic control system.
The US Secretary of Homeland Security said tonight that fixing the issues will take an extended period of time.
In Belize, this means that two flights-an American Airlines flight to Miami and a United Airlines flight to Houston-were unable to leave for their US destinations this afternoon. All other flights departed before the stoppage.
An Air Alaska flight, which was en route to Belize when the stoppage was ordered, arrived safely.
The stoppage continues at this hour.
And that's it for 7News tonight. We leave you with footage of the Garifuna Folkloric Ballet of Honduras, who will perform in Belize next week.
