Dane and his community recover from hurricane melissa

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Gwen and I’m fundraising for Dane.

Back in 2023, when we visited Jamaica, we met Dane — he was our taxi driver, but very quickly became a friend. We stayed in touch ever since.

Recently, Jamaica was hit by severe floods. Dane’s apartment was completely destroyed, and he lost everything. Not only his clothes and belongings — but also personal memories, photos, items from friends, and pieces of his life that can never be replaced.

Dane had been working towards starting his own castor oil business — something his father knows how to make in the traditional way — and he was saving up to buy the trees and equipment to begin. That dream was taken from him before he ever had the chance to build it.

Unfortunately we feel our hands are tied, because we live in The Netherlands and are not able to travel to him. So I created this GoFundMe to help Dane (and his family) rebuild their home, their life, and the future he was working hard for.

Any amount, big or small, means the world.
Thank you for your support.
