My name is Donovan from Jamaica that reside in the UK, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my family and the people in need with the aim of helping as much as possible with rebuilding Our Communities After Hurricane Melissa.

When Hurricane Melissa hit, Jamaica and its communities changed overnight. Homes were flooded, power was lost, and places that once brought us together churches, schools and local gathering spots — were left in ruins. It’s hard to describe the heartbreak of seeing familiar streets washed away and neighbors displaced.

But even in the middle of the storm’s chaos, something beautiful happened. We saw kindness. We saw strength. We saw neighbors helping neighbors — sharing food, clearing debris, and offering a place to stay. It reminded all of us that while the storm may have taken a lot, it couldn’t take away our sense of community.

Now it’s time to rebuild — together.

Where your support will go:

This GoFundMe was created to bring a few friends (and anyone who cares about our country) together to help with repair and rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Melissa.

Funds will go directly toward:

• Sending barrels of food and clothes from the UK, providing relief to those who lost essential belongings

• Helping families repair and restore their damaged homes

• Rebuilding community spaces that were destroyed

• Supporting local volunteers and cleanup teams with supplies

Join the movement

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference. Even $10 can help buy tools, food, or materials for rebuilding efforts. And if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign or volunteering your time means just as much.

Our community has always been resilient. We’ve weathered storms before — and each time, we’ve come back stronger. Let’s do it again.

Together we can turn this story of loss into a story of resilience.

Let’s stand side by side — not just to rebuild walls and roofs, but to rebuild hope.

Thank you for standing with us. One Love Jamaica ❤️‍✊
