Update from Jamaica – Relief Supplies Have Finally Arrived

We finally have some good news to share. The relief barrels have finally been released to us here in Jamaica. They arrived in the country back in December, but after a long process they were only cleared and released to us

I (Cayo) am currently in Jamaica preparing the supplies for distribution, and Charmain will be arriving next week so we can work together on getting everything out to the communities. Our plan is to begin distribution next week, reaching families who were affected by the disaster and who have been patiently waiting for support.

As we continue preparing the care packages, one thing we are hearing clearly from community members is that food support is still a major need. Many families are still struggling, and while we have clothing and other essential items ready to go, we would really like to add food items into the care packages if possible.

Another major challenge we are facing right now is transportation. We need to hire vehicles to help move the barrels and supplies into the communities so we can distribute them directly to the people who need them most. Between the cost of shipping and transporting the supplies here, most of the resources we raised have already been used.

Because of this, we are asking our supporters and community once again to find it within yourselves to give whatever you are able to help us finish this journey. Your support will help us purchase food items locally and cover the transportation needed to bring these supplies into the communities.

Even a small contribution can make a difference.

I will be here in Jamaica for the next week and a half to make sure these supplies get into the hands of the people who truly need them.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort so far. Your kindness and generosity are what made it possible to get this far. We are deeply grateful for anything you are able to give as we take these final steps to deliver help to the community.

Thank you in advance for your continued support.

– Cayo and Charmaine
