URGENT RELIEF APPEAL:

SUPPORT FOR HURRICANE MELISSA VICTIMS IN MY BELOVED HOME TOWN, BALACLAVA, ST. ELIZABETH, JAMAICA

A Call for Immediate Aid

Dear Friend and Supporter,

For more than 35 years, I have been dedicated to serving my community as a Chaplain, Community Volunteer, and Advocate, guided by the principle: "I will do all I can, as long as I can, to everyone as I can."

Today, my community needs urgent help.

My beloved hometown of Balaclava, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, has been catastrophically damaged by Hurricane Melissa. The devastation is widespread and immediate. Roads and critical bridges have been destroyed, leaving countless families stranded, homeless, and facing dire shortages of basic human necessities:

• Shelter: Families are displaced with nowhere to go.

• Essentials: Critical shortages of food and clean drinking water.

• Health: Urgent need for medicine and basic first aid supplies.

Transparency and Direct Impact

The need is immense, but the opportunity for direct, immediate relief is clear.

Funds sent will be delivered efficiently through my long-established, trusted network of local organizations, friends, and families on the island. We are committed to accountability: recipients must provide proof that they are in dire need of help to ensure every dollar provides maximum impact.

Your kind support will directly translate into shelter, nourishment, and medical aid for those who have lost everything.

We are profoundly thankful for your generosity, prayers, and prompt support as we work to restore hope to Balaclava, St. Elizabeth.

With Sincere Gratitude,

Carmen Salmon-Light, Chaplain,

Community Volunteer and Advocate for over 35 year!
