Hi! We’re Lexy, Noah and Stephanie.
We’re hoping to help our friends in Jamaica who were devastated from this hurricane. It stole their livelihood, and two young girls homes in the fisherman village.
Stephanie first met Owen on a vacation, since then they’ve remained friends and have visited every time she returns.
Opal is Owen’s wife and another dear friend to us.
Stephanie, Owen and opal have been friends for over 8 years.
He introduced her to Dede and boom boom. She’s known the girls and watched them grow for over 5 years.
Everytime she visits, she brings them school supplies, clothes, shoes and toys. They are like family to us.
Owen is a taxi driver; his income is based on the tourism in his country.
He takes care of his mentally handicapped neighbor along with the girls in the fisherman village, all while providing for his family and enjoying being a new grandpa.
Our hope is that we can get Owen and the girls enough for them to have a roof over their heads and the necessities they need to survive.
The girls home is right on shoreline and will be devastated. They have tin roof homes with plywood for walls. They survive off of what the land provides and their farm animals. Which were also devastated.

Hurricane Melissa was unlike anything they’ve experienced, and they will need all the help they can get.
anything and everything helps.

Stephanie is the beneficiary for this donation page, she transfers the money to Owen in montego bay via money gram. He can pick up funds from money gram sites in Jamaica, and receive cash to buy necessities for him and the girls.
The money that’s being transferred to Owen Barnett, from Stephanie Grass will be used for a windshield for his van so he is able to safely drive and bring supplies to the people of seaside.
The money that is left, will be used to supply Owen, dede, boomboom and other kids in the fisherman village with food, water, clothing and whatever shelter they can afford.
