Support Andre & Marsha: Bring Power and Hope to Jamaica After Hurricane Melissa;

My name is Marsha Cogle Augustine, and my brother Andre Cogle and I have dedicated over 24 years to the hospitality industry. Service is at the heart of everything we do, caring for others, creating comfort, and offering genuine kindness from the soul.

Today, we find ourselves needing your support. Our beloved home country of Jamaica has been devastated by a Category 5 hurricane. The destruction is unimaginable. While I've received word that our father is safe, I've been unable to reach him or other family and community members in South St. James, one of the hardest-hit regions. A great portion of that area is totally wiped out, with folks now living in shelters which are also bursting at the seams. Power is expected to be out for 3 to 5 months, and basic resources are scarce.

We are raising funds to send a solar-powered generator, food, toiletries, building supplies, and essential supplies to help our dad, siblings, and the wider community begin to recover and rebuild. Any contribution, big or small, would mean the world to us and to those who need it most right now.

If you are able to contribute by donating items, please contact Andre or me directly at [email redacted] or [email redacted]. We plan to ship all collected supplies to Jamaica by the end of November.

Funds will cover:

Essential Supplies: canned food, toiletries, batteries, water filters, solar generator, among others.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this difficult time.
