The reason for funds is on behalf of my family and neighbors in my community, which was affected badly by the recent Hurricane Melissa. These funds are to be distributed to the most affected, with fully damaged roofs and beds gone and destroyed, leaving nowhere to sleep or shelter. Message from Andre Hassock

From Portland, Jamaica

Dear Friends and Supporters,

My name is Andre Hassock, and I’m from Portland, Jamaica — one of the areas hit hard by Hurricane Melissa. Many of us here have lost so much. Homes have been damaged, roofs torn off, crops destroyed, and families left struggling to find a safe place to rest.

These funds mean more than words can express. They represent hope — hope for my family, my neighbors, and our small community trying to rebuild piece by piece. Every dollar raised will go directly to those who need it most, based on how badly each home and family was affected. Some lost everything, and they need help right now to start over.

We’re not sitting and waiting for help to come — we’re coming together as a community to lift each other back up. Your support helps us do that.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, or even taken a moment to send a kind word. You’re helping us find light again after the storm.

With gratitude and love,

– Andre Hassock & the Portland Community
