<div>Hi, my name is Marissa Hogan a DSP at a Behavior health facility and currently living in the states. I was born and raised on the once-beautiful island of Jamaica, where it’s part of our culture to give the shirt off our backs to those in need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The island I still call home — Jamaica — has grown almost unrecognizable, especially around Culloden Whitehouse in Westmoreland, where I hold my most cherished memories with family and friends.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My mother passed away last December, and I inherited the house she left behind. In that home, my younger sister (just 18) and my older brother, who lives with an intellectual and developmental disability (IDD), had been living — but now the house is in ruins from Hurricane Melissa. This hurricane didn’t just impact my family; it devastated my entire community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hurricane Melissa came with a singular mission: to destroy everything in her path — and tragically, she succeeded. The storm ripped off roofs, flooded homes, and destroyed lives. The land we once knew — with its blue seas and lush green trees — is now muddy water and barren of trees.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My goal is simple: to support my family, and the community that shaped me into the woman I am today.

</div>

<div>With your help, no matter how big or how small the contribution, we can:

</div>

<div>provide food, clean water, essential supplies, and medical supplies to my family and others in this community deeply affected by this disaster.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every dollar you donate will go directly toward helping my family and others in my community recover, rebuild, and regain some semblance of stability after this disaster.

</div>

<div>You may ask: “Why does this matter? Why should I donate?”

</div>

<div>Here’s why:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jamaica has given so much to the world — from legends like Bob Marley, the fastest man on earth Usain Bolt, and let’s not forget our mouth-watering food and our heartfelt hospitality. We may be a small dot on the map, but we’ve made a big difference in the world.

</div>

<div>Yes — the government is helping, and yes — they will continue to assist. But what we need now isn't long-term recovery. There are family members and community members who need food now, water now, essential supplies now.

</div>

<div>With that said: Jamaica needs your support. We are a country rich in culture, talent, and tenacity — and we stand ready to rebuild with your help.
