Hello, my name is Raphaelle Studniczka, and I’m raising funds to help my family, friends, and the entire Belmont Bluefields community in Jamaica who have been severely affected by Hurricane Melissa. These are my people — my family, lifelong friends, and neighbors who have always stood together through both good times and hardship. I am organizing this fundraiser with my partner , Jan Halberstadt. The funds will be sent directly to Jan’s account so that he can access them to support the Belmont community, which was severely affected by Hurricane Melissa.

Hurricane Melissa has left a path of destruction through Belmont Bluefields — homes have been damaged or completely destroyed, families have lost their belongings, and many are struggling to find food, clean water, and shelter. This storm has deeply impacted our beautiful seaside community, leaving many without the basic necessities of life.

I created this fundraiser to support the Belmont Bluefields community in their time of greatest need. The funds raised will go directly toward providing:

• Shelter and rebuilding materials for damaged homes

• Food and clean drinking water for affected families

• Emergency aid and medical supplies for those in need

• Support for vulnerable families who have lost everything

Every dollar will be used responsibly and transparently to help those most affected by the storm.

Your support — no matter how big or small — will make a real difference. Together, we can help rebuild Belmont Bluefields and bring hope back to a community that means so much to me and so many others.

Please donate if you can, and share this campaign to spread the word.

Your kindness and generosity will help families find strength and stability again after this devastating disaster.

Thank you for your love and support,

– Raphaelle Studniczka
