The Jamaican family home of Ava Barnes, our gentle caregiver, was completely destroyed. Her extended family in Jamaica lost their residence due to Hurricane Melissa. Please consider donating to this wonderful woman who took care of our parents, grandparents, and loved ones. We are so grateful to have had her in our lives during a time when we needed loving care the most. From Ava: "I got to tell you that my family is ok, but my home is wiped all out. I have no home to go to. I have to start all over again. I just have asked Father God for help and strength, thank him for this life."

My name is Jemina Nolan Keller. I am the daughter of James P. Nolan Jr. and Pamela Long Nolan from East Northport, NY. We are raising funds to help Ava rebuild her home in Jamaica, which was obliterated by Hurricane Melissa. Ava was our family caregiver during the last years of our parents' lives. Your donations will go directly to Ava Barnes. My role is just setting up the GoFundMe page.
