Hello family, friends and donors. Chelsea and I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your kindness towards our family in Jamaica as they recover from Hurricane Melissa. As we come to the end of our fundraising time period, we have raised a total of $16,874. These funds will truly help our family members. The individuals benefiting from your donation are our first and second cousins and Aunts, along with the nurses and caregivers that took care of my mother and Chelsea’s grandmother who recently passed away. GoFundMe will transfer the funds to me (Paula’s) account and I will in turn transfer the funds to Kerrian Hines (my cousin) in Jamaica for equal distribution to families. Thank you again for all your love and support during this challenging time. With grace and gratitude, Paula & Chelsea Kovinsky

My heart is broken for the people of Jamaica. In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, countless families have lost their homes, belongings, and livelihoods. Entire communities have been left devastated and many are now struggling to find shelter, food, and hope.

Today, on $5 Friday, we’re asking for one small act of kindness: a $5 donation to support rebuilding efforts.

Just $5 can help us reach our goal to provide emergency supplies, repair essential structures, and bring hope back to those who lost so much. When many people give a little, it adds up to a lot.

Please join us today—your $5 can make a real difference.

Jamaica has given so much love, strength, and joy to so many of us. Now, it’s our turn to give back.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your compassion, generosity, and prayers during this time of rebuilding and recovery.

(All proceeds will go toward verified local relief efforts and directly assist those impacted.)

One Love

Chels
