<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help. As many of you know, I am from Jamaica and many of my close friends and loved ones still live there. They have been devastated by Hurricane Melissa. The storm tore through the parishes and communities of Manchester, St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Hanover, Trelawny, and St James destroying lives, livelihoods, leaving many of my friends and families without shelter, clean water, or electricity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thousands of people lost everything in the storm — their home, personal belongings, water tanks, and even access to basic needs like food and clean drinking water. The area is still without electricity or running water, and rebuilding will be a long, difficult process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re trying to raise funds to help them:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Rebuild safe housing
</li>
<li>Replace water tanks and restore access to clean water
</li>
<li>Purchase food, clothing, and basic household essentials
</li>
<li>Support recovery efforts for the community
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference. If you can’t give financially, please consider sharing this campaign with others. Every share helps spread the word and brings us one step closer to helping my friends and loved ones start over.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your kindness, prayers, and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️ With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Edward
