Jamaica — a proud and resilient island rising from the Caribbean Sea — has been devastated by Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that struck October 28, 2025 with record-breaking force.

We are putting our relief efforts on the northern coast of Jamaica in Parish of St. Ann. From Discovery Bay, Runaway Bay to Browns Town. Areas supported through tourism.

This was one of the strongest hurricanes ever to hit Jamaica, leaving behind catastrophic winds, flooding, and widespread destruction. Entire communities are without power and fuel. Homes, roads, and bridges have been washed away. Families have lost everything.

But Jamaicans are strong. We’ve rebuilt before — and we will rebuild again.

In 1988, Hurricane Gilbert caused over $700 million in damages. In 2004, Hurricane Ivan left more than $575 million in destruction. Each time, Jamaica rose through unity, faith, and community.

Now, we’re asking for your help once more.

Our Mission

We are coming together to support families, small businesses, and the most vulnerable as Jamaica recovers from this devastating storm.

Your donation will directly provide:

• Support for local stores, markets, and farmers to supply essential goods

• Emergency relief — food, clean water, shelter, and medical supplies for affected families

• Rebuilding homes and community infrastructure once it is safe to do so

• Long-term recovery support for displaced residents and those who’ve lost their livelihoods

Every dollar raised will go directly to on-the-ground relief and rebuilding efforts.

Why Your Help Matters

The road ahead will be long. Some areas are completely cut off due to landslides and flooding. Rebuilding will take months, even years, but every contribution — big or small — helps bring light, hope, and stability back to Jamaica.

If you love the people, culture, food, or spirit of Jamaica — this is your time to give back.
