After Hurricane Melissa — Help Us Rebuild Our Home and Farm

Hi, I’m Jazzmin from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Four years ago, I married my Jamaican husband, and together we began building our dream — a small family farm in Jamaica. It was more than a farm; it was our sanctuary, our source of food, and a way to live in harmony with creation.

When Hurricane Melissa struck, it left nothing standing. Our family’s home — our safe place — was destroyed. The chicken coops, goat pens, crops, and every piece of what we worked so hard to build were wiped away. We are now homeless, holding on to each other while figuring out how to start over.

We built everything ourselves from the ground up. Every fence post, every tree we planted, every animal we cared for represented our hope for a self-sufficient future. In one storm, it was all gone.

We’re now in urgent need of help to rebuild — to have shelter again, to protect our animals, and to restore the land.

Your contribution will help us:

Rebuild a storm-resistant home for our family

Reconstruct our chicken coops and goat pens

Replace basic farming tools and animal feed

Restore clean water and solar power to the property

The cost to start again has been overwhelming, and with widespread damage in the region, materials and labor are scarce and expensive. But we believe restoration is possible — with your help.

If you can, please donate and or share this page with others. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us take one step closer to rebuilding our home, our animals’ shelter, and our peace of mind.

We’re staying strong and trusting YaHUaH

that light will shine again after this storm.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and standing with us. Your kindness helps bring life back to our land.
