Friends & family, this is Priscilla Van Zanten ( born and raised in Jamaica). As I sit here in my home in Illinois, I can't help but think about the hundreds of thousands of Jamaicans with absolutely NOTHING! No home, food, clothes... Some are cut off from major cities because of impassable terrain/roads. Hurricane Melissa destroyed my beautiful homeland . Countless families have lost everything; their homes, belongings, and even access to food and clean water. Entire communities have been uprooted, and the road to recovery will be long and difficult.

To help, I'm raising funds for communities in Black River, Manchester, and Montego Bay. I have family members and close friends in those areas who are in severe need. Every contribution, no matter how small, 100% will go directly toward buying;

1. Shelf-stable Foods

2. Tarps for shelter

3. Toiletries

4. Clothes

5. Portable generators for community centers

The needs around the island is endless.

Jamaica needs us now more than ever.

If you’ve ever felt the warmth, music, and spirit of the Jamaican people, this is your chance to give back.

Your donation will help bring hope and stability back to families who have lost so much.

Please donate what you can and share this campaign widely.

Thank you in advace for your generosity and compassion.

Priscilla Van Zanten
