Hello, my name is Michael Raynsford.

I'm fundraising for my family and loved ones in Jamaica who were deeply affected by Hurricane Melissa.

Many people have lost their homes, crops and livelihoods.

The funds raised will go directly toward essentials such as food, toiletries and immediate supplies while they work to rebuild everything they've lost.

For example: bottled water, non-perishable food items, canned food, baby formula, toothpaste, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, soap, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, dishes, first aid supplies, clothing, underwear, blankets, flashlights, batteries, tarps, matches/lighters ect.

I have been visiting St. Elizabeth, Jamaica for 45 years so it holds a very special place in my heart. It's where I met and married my wife. Her family - who are also my family- still live there today. I would love nothing more than to help the community through the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ensure that our loved ones are safe and cared for while they try to recover and regain stability.

Thank you for your generosity, compassion and support.
