<div>Help Rebuild my Home &amp; Community Studio for the youths in St Elizabeth, Jamaica
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello — thank you for taking a moment to read my story. My name is Ernice Smith, and I live in the parish of St. Elizabeth in Jamaica. On October 28, 2025, our community was devastated by Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that hit our region with historic strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When the hurricane came through, my home—along with my recording studio, which I built for the youth in our community—was destroyed. The very place where young people gathered to learn, create and grow is now in ruins. My neighbours are also suffering: several families have lost their homes, and the entire area needs urgent rebuilding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m starting this fundraiser to raise £4000 or equivalent in Jamaican dollars) to help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rebuild my home and Proud to be produtcion studio. So my family has a safe place to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reconstruct the community recording studio, so the youth have a place to gather again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Provide support to neighbours in St. Elizabeth who have lost their homes, so we can rebuild together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation counts. Whether it’s a small amount to help buy materials, or sharing this campaign to spread the word — your support means the world. After the storm, our community was already under enormous pressure: roads washed out, power and water supplies disrupted, homes destroyed.
</div>
<div>in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How the funds will be used:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>£1000 – Roofing materials and labour: sheet metal, wood, and work to secure the roof.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>£500 – Windows and interior repairs: replace broken glass, fix up ceilings and walls after the water damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>£500 – Furniture replacement: a few beds, chairs, and household items that get ruin.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>£300 – Studio refurbish: cleaning, wiring, and touch-up so the space can be used again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>£500 – Computers and electronics: replace damaged system audio componiant and accessories for recording.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any help at all — big or small — will go straight toward rebuilding and getting things back in order. I give thanks for every bit of love, prayer, and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Respect and gratitude,
