Hi everyone, good morning! My name is Sherron McFarlane. I am well known in the Darliston and surrounding communities, and I myself worked as a teacher, pastor, and guidance counselor in the area. I am from Darliston in Westmoreland, Jamaica. This is one of the areas directly hit by the category 5 Hurricane Melissa. Almost everything is destroyed. The people are homeless, hungry, and desperate. I am just at a loss for words, not knowing where to turn and what to do! I am thinking we just have to reach out and help one person, one family, one community at a time, in whatever way we can. I told my family that I am going to start a GoFundMe to assist my community and the surrounding communities and people they know elsewhere. Food, water, bedding, and clothing are the most urgent items of need. We have decided that we will send money today as a first aid for the purchase of food and water. We will follow with shipping barrels of food and clothing, toiletries, and bedding. I am appealing for any help that we can get to help the communities.
