Hi All,
I am working to rescue myself and my business from a bleak future in the tropics. I've been commuting to, living, and working in Jamaica for the last 30+ years. I have been here on a "permanent" basis since September 2001. I have to relocate back to the United States (where I am originally from) to access social services, insurance and most importantly, the work I need to support myself. My options here, now, or in the near future, will not sustain my life. Even If local work returns to pre-pandemic levels, I have fallen too far to recover alone. I will not be able to pull myself back into any semblance of normal business or personal life without your help.

Thank you for thinking of me.

Best Regards,
Steve

P.S. My close and trusted friend James Walsh (in New York) is managing this account and forwarding funds to me in Jamaica as GFM does not link to any bank in Jamaica
