Hello. I am a Buddhist in Miami. I'm raising money for those affected by Hurricane Melissa, particularly in Jamaica. ALL money donated will be given to Direct Relief (EIN 95-1831116) specifically for Hurricane Melissa automatically through GoFundMe.

Please spread this to your friends / family even if you cannot afford a penny yourself. Every intentional act of kindness matters. Please read:

Jamaica is currently being hit directly by a Category five Hurricane. No humanitarian assistance will be enough; but something is better than nothing. Direct Relief ensures that vital medical supplies and aid reach those facing disasters and health crises quickly and effectively.

Your donations will make a profound impact, allowing Direct Relief to:

Jamaica needs help. Collecting money sooner than later is important. Direct Relief puts as high as 99.5% of all donated money toward direct aid and programs.

Anything is appreciated. The women, children, elderly and other suffering humans who experience your empathy and kindness will always be strangers to you; but their gratitude will be a very real & potent lifelong soothing agent to the disaster they're about to experience.

$1 helps deliver ~$30 worth of medicine and emergency aid.

$5 can provide hydration packs or antibiotics for several children.

$10 fuels the delivery of a full emergency medical kit to a storm-hit clinic.

$25 helps send protective gear, insulin, and wound care to families in crisis.

$100+ supports field medical modules that treat hundreds of people.

Literally every dollar matters. Please give what you can. Forgo a fast food meal or something and help save innocent lives and limit human suffering. God bless you all. Thank you if you donate even a dollar. It matters. ❤️
