We are the sons, daughters, and grandchildren of Jointwood, a collective of families living in Jamaica and abroad united to restore the homes, strength, and dignity of the people and community that raised us.

Jointwood is our home no matter where in the world life has taken us. Nestled in Jamaica’s “Breadbasket,” the Parish of St. Elizabeth, Jointwood is a proud farming community that helps feed our nation. It is a place that teaches the value of family, unity, and looking out for one another. Today, our home needs the world to look out for us. Hurricane Melissa tore through Jointwood with devastating force. More than 100 homes have been damaged or destroyed. Families have lost roofs, food, clothing, and the smallest basics of survival. Many are without safe shelter, clean water, or electricity.

We are the Jointwood Strong Relief Team, sons, daughters, and grandchildren of Jointwood, both in Jamaica and abroad, joining together to support the families and elders who raised us and the children who represent our future.

Your donation will help us provide:

Every dollar, every blessing, will go directly to restoring hope and dignity in our community.

We will be personally distributing all aid directly to impacted households, ensuring immediate relief without delays. We are committed to full transparency with updates, photos, and receipts as funds are used. Jointwood has always been a place of resilience and love. With your support, we will rebuild one home, one family, one blessing at a time.

Thank you for standing beside Jointwood. We Are Jointwood Strong.
