️ Rebuilding Hope for Jamaica’s Heroes – The Smilozone Cares Family


When Hurricane Melissa tore through Jamaica, it didn’t just destroy buildings — it shattered lives, homes, and hope.
But together, we can rebuild.
Hello friends and supporters from around the world,
We are Smilozone Cares Jamaica, a non-profit foundation dedicated to creating a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Jamaica through recycling, education, and community outreach.
For years, our incredible team has worked tirelessly to protect the environment and uplift communities — from Kingston to Montego Bay, from schools to small businesses.
But now, our own family needs your help.

(A nonprofit organization in the United States, supporting Smilozone Cares Jamaica in this relief effort.)

The Crisis
In late October 2025, Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica with unprecedented force — a Category 5 storm that devastated communities across the island.

Many of our Smilozone Cares employees and their families have lost everything:
️ Homes destroyed or severely damaged
No access to clean water or electricity
Personal belongings washed away
Equipment and work materials ruined
These are not just statistics — these are the people behind our mission.
People who have given their time, strength, and passion to make Jamaica a better place.
Now, they are starting from zero.

❤️ Who We’re Helping

This GoFundMe is dedicated to supporting the Smilozone Cares team — the heart and hands behind our foundation.
Each donation will go directly to employees and their families who are struggling to recover after the storm.
They are heroes in every sense — and now they need our help to stand again.

Our Goal
We are raising US $50,000 to provide emergency relief and long-term recovery support for our team.
Here’s how your generosity will help:
• Provide emergency food and hygiene kits for families
• ️ Help purchase basic home items like bedding and cookware
• Support minor home repairs or replacement of lost work tools
• Rebuild roofs, walls, or help relocate families to safe housing
Every dollar counts — and every donation brings light to a family facing darkness.

Why It Matters
Our employees are the backbone of Smilozone Cares.
They are the ones who visit schools, organise beach clean-ups, run recycling drives, and empower the next generation of eco-leaders in Jamaica.
When we help them recover, we’re not just helping individuals —
we’re helping restore the mission to protect Jamaica’s people and planet.

All donations received will be securely processed through Movimiento Visión Rescate USA and fully directed to the Smilozone Cares Jamaica Hurricane Melissa Relief Effort.

A Message of Hope
“Storms can break walls — but not the spirit of those who care.”
Jamaica has always been strong.
Our people are resilient, proud, and full of heart.
But even the strongest need a hand to rise after disaster.
With your kindness, we will rebuild — stronger, greener, and more united than ever.

From all of us at Smilozone Cares Jamaica and Movimiento Visión Rescate USA,
Thank you for standing with us.
Thank you for believing in recovery.
