We are three Melissas - friends since middle school, and we want to make our names stand for Hope. Today, across the Caribbean, thousands of families are facing heartbreak and loss as Hurricane Melissa unleashes one of the most powerful storms ever recorded. Homes are flooded, communities are cut off, and children are waiting for the relief they so desperately need.

If you are named Melissa, you share your name with more than 700,000 others in the United States. Imagine this: if each Melissa gave even a small donation, together we could turn heartbreak into healing for thousands facing disaster right now.

This is a personal call from one Melissa to another—let’s show the world what our name means. Let’s renew hope in places where despair has settled. Share this message, donate what you can, and use #MelissaForHope to rally friends, family, and fellow Melissas. One name. One purpose. Together, we change lives.
