<div>On October 28th 2025, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica as a record-breaking category 5 hurricane.  Hurricane Melissa directly hit the southwestern parishes of St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, and the northwestern parish of St James, causing catastrophic destruction and devastation.  The rural areas in particular are in dire need of assistance, supplies, and materials to help rebuild their communities.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As native Jamaicans living abroad, we are compelled to raise funds and assist with the distribution of supplies to the rural areas of Kilmarnock, Newmarket, Savannah-la-Mar, Lacovia, Whitehouse, Culloden, and Luana.  We have secured personnel from the United States, Europe, and surrounding Caribbean islands to collect and distribute supplies to established churches and organizations with distribution channels within these communities.

</div>
