Hurricane Melissa - Home Restoration

Donation protected
Greetings and Blessings to you all,

I am Ms Rose, and i am attempting to raise funds for my Aunt and my Cousin abroad.

My family in Jamaica has been hit with unimaginable loss after Hurricane Melissa tore through their community, leaving destruction that they are still struggling to comprehend. Two homes (one belonging to my aunt and the other to my cousin) have been severely damaged, with the roofs on both houses collapsing entirely under the force of the hurricane.

What the storm didn’t knock down, it destroyed with heavy debris, flooding, and water damage. Clothes, furniture, beds, living supplies, appliances, nearly everything they owned has been ruined. They are now left with unstable structures, unsafe living conditions, and almost nothing salvageable inside.

These homes have sheltered our family for decades, and watching them fall apart in a short space of time has been heartbreaking.

Rebuilding even one house after a hurricane is overwhelming, rebuilding two is almost impossible without support.

I am raising £10,000 in total:

£5,000 for my aunt’s home

£5,000 for my cousin’s home

This will help with:

  • Rebuilding the collapsed roofs

  • Cleaning out destroyed materials

  • Repairing structural damage

  • Replacing essential items (beds, clothing, appliances, school supplies, etc.)

  • Making the homes safe and livable again

Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward helping them start over and regain stability after losing nearly everything.

How Your Support Helps

Hurricane Melissa may have taken their homes, but it hasn’t taken their hope. With your help, we can:

  • Give them back a safe place to sleep

  • Restore the essentials they need to rebuild their lives

  • Lift the emotional burden of losing everything in a crisis

Your generosity will have a real, immediate impact on two families who urgently need help to recover.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, kindness, and support during this incredibly difficult moment for my family.
