Dear Raiders friends, family, and compassionate supporters,
As many of you know, our own Coach Khesanio Hall is from Jamaica — a place that shaped him, strengthened him, and helped build the leader he is today. His hometown of Burnt Ground in Santa Cruz was struck by Hurricane Melissa, and the damage has been devastating. Homes are gone, families have been displaced, and everyday life has been turned upside down.
Burnt Ground is a small, humble, and close-knit community — the type of place filled with love, support, and values that Coach Khes brings to our club every day. Many of the people who guided and lifted him throughout his life are now facing unimaginable hardship and uncertainty.
Today, St. Pete Raiders and Coach Khesanio are coming together to ask for your support. We are raising funds to help families in Burnt Ground repair their homes and restore some hope during this incredibly difficult time.
Your generosity will help:
- Rebuild and repair damaged homes
- Support displaced families who have lost everything
Every donation — no matter the size — will make a real difference. This is our chance to stand beside Coach Khes and his community, just as he stands beside our players and families every single day. When hardship strikes, we show up. We support. We lead with heart.
Together, we can help Burnt Ground rise again. Even in the darkest moments, compassion, unity, and love shine brightest.
If you are able, please donate and share this effort with others who believe in helping those in need.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers.
Together, we will rebuild.
With gratitude,
St. Pete Raiders & Coach Khesanio Hall
