<div>Hello, my name is Patty Westra, I live in Manitoba, Canada.  We are fundraising to repair the home of a Jamaican family whose home was severely damaged by Hurricane Melissa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our dear friends, the Cunningham family, live in the Archwell community near Prospect, Jamaica. Four generations — six adults and three children — share this small home, from 97-year-old Auntie Layla and 85-year-old Auntie Daphne to the youngest, just 18 months old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During Hurricane Melissa, their roof suffered significant damage, including large holes and other structural issues. The roof needs urgent repair.  We are raising $8,000 to repair the roof and other water damages.  We will also purchase a water tank to provide reliable access to water for the household. Currently, the family has no electricity and no running water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These repairs will be high-quality and built to withstand future hurricanes, ensuring the home remains safe and secure for the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will make an immediate and meaningful difference in their daily lives. Thank you for considering a donation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have obtained a detailed materials list to repair the damages that is posted here.  The $8,000.00 includes all materials and labour.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rest assured, 100% of all funds raised will go directly to helping this family.
</div>
