Hurricane Melissa has left a devastating impact on the communities of Westmoreland, St James, and St Elizabeth. Many families are struggling to recover after losing their homes, belongings, and access to basic necessities. The storm has disrupted daily life, leaving people in urgent need of food, clean water, clothing, medical supplies, shelter, and hygiene items. The road to recovery will be long, and many are facing uncertainty about how they will rebuild their lives. 
<br>
<br>
 This fundraiser is dedicated to providing direct relief to those most affected by Hurricane Melissa in these areas. I am an active duty US Navy sailor from Kingston, Jamaica, and this country is very dear to my heart. I am in contact with several families and individuals who have been hit the hardest, and all funds raised will go directly to them. Immediate needs like food, water, and shelter will be prioritized, but we also aim to support longer-term recovery efforts, including helping families rebuild their homes and restore a sense of normalcy. 
<br>
<br>
 Transparency is important to me, so I will provide regular updates on this GoFundMe page, including details about how funds are distributed and the impact your support is making. Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring hope and relief to those who need it most. Help rebuild Jamaica and help families, one donation at a time. Thank you for standing with the people of Westmoreland, St James, and St Elizabeth as they recover from this disaster.

Hurricane Melissa Relief

<div>Hi, my name is Monique Mullings, and I’m an active-duty U.S. Navy sailor living in Norfolk, Virginia.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My family and neighbors in Jamaica were devastated by Hurricane Melissa. Roofs were ripped away, homes destroyed, and entire communities cut off. There’s no running water, no electricity, and many roads are still blocked, making it almost impossible for families to get help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Many parents can’t afford to feed their children, they’ve lost everything, including their homes. Some are left with only the clothes on their backs, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m raising funds to send relief barrels filled with food, diapers, baby formula, children’s clothing, hygiene items, and over-the-counter medicine directly to those in need. Each barrel costs about $600 to fill and $150 to ship.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every $750 raised sends one fully packed relief barrel to families in need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Each one includes canned food, rice, flour, baby formula, diapers, wipes, hygiene items, vitamins, pain relievers, and other essentials to help families survive and start rebuilding.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even the smallest donation helps — $10 can feed a family or buy medicine for a child.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for donating, sharing, and helping me bring hope, comfort, and care to the people of Jamaica as they recover from Hurricane Melissa.

Tragic loss

Warri Grand Prix. Warri, Nigeria.<br /></strong><br /><br />I have been given an opportunity to train at the World Athletics Center located in Phoenix, Arizona. While there, I plan to dedicate every day to becoming the best 400m hurdler in the world. For some, this mission seems far fetched, for me, I KNOW I can do it. I realize it wont be easy, but how I choose to tackle the challenges that lie ahead of me, will ultimately prepare me for the big stage. <br /><br />I've had a vision since I was 12 years old that I would medal at a major championships. I was at home watching the 2000 Sydney Olympics, when I caught myself paying close attention to how some of the athletes were being introduced. I remember placing myself in their shoes; standing on the staring line, pacing from left to right, focusing on execution. I saw myself driving out of the blocks, running through each hurdle and "dipping" at the line. Taking that famous look up while I anxiously waited for my time to appear on the big screen. I had earned a medal, got to stand on the podium filled with joy that I had finally accomplish, what I didn't know then, to be a goal of mine now. Can you believe I had the nerve to put myself in the 400mH finals with the Olympians? I can. I guess fate is a real thing. A year later, I joined a Track team and my life took off from there.<br /><br />In my 16 years of competing, I never took my eyes off the prize, dedicating every piece of me, experiencing races that would record career bests for me, and other times, dealing with injuries, but I never gave up. Yet the unexpected was to come. I had just finished my 3rd competition as a collegiate red-shirt, when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. From that day, my life would forever change. <br /><br />I never understood the meaning of sacrifice until I became a mother. A year after giving birth to my daughter, I decided I would move to Arkansas to train as an elite 400m hurdler after a 2 year hiatus. One can gather, in the sport of Track and Field, average athletes do not make alot of money. I do this to teach my daughter to never second guess her visions. In pursuit of my dream and a better future, I had to leave behind the most important thing to me, Kamryn. I arrived in Fayetteville with $250 in my pocket, my first months rent that a friend donated to me, and my car full of my belongings. For the next 3 months, I struggled on a daily basis, but managed to achieve the basic life necessities: A roof over my head, Food/Water, and Clothing. I came home to a couple of blankets laid out on the floor, this was my bed. As far as food, I would meal prep on Sunday's that would last me all week. Some nights I would sit in the car and cry. One night I thought of committing suicide because I got to a point where I felt life wasn't worth all the sacrifices I was making, But most days I wanted to just throw in the towel, pack my few belongings and move back home. Yet, I kept reminding myself why I had made it as far as I had, because I do not give up. I was as focus as I had ever been. I was grateful to begin this journey in faith, knowing my current circumstances could not compare to the glory that would come.<br /><br />After being away from competition for nearly 2 years and giving birth, I earned an opportunity to represent Nigeria's National Track and Field team. God was showing me his promises because my faith never wavered. In 2014 I went on to represent Team Nigeria as the 4x400m relay alternate at the World Indoor Championships held in Sopot, Poland. Although I did not run, I gained valuable experience and was introduced to the international side of  Indoor Track and Field.  <br /><br />Outdoor was approaching and it was time for me to make my big debut in my respective event, the 400m Hurdles. I ran a season best of 57.73 to position myself as the #1 hurdler in Nigeria at that time. I competed in 4 different states before heading to Warri, Nigeria and then Calabar, Nigeria to compete in the African Champs and Commonwealth trials. Due to lack of resources because of financial issues, I was not able to compete at my best even when the races seemed to be in my favor. I ran the slowest time I had ever run in all of my years of competing in the 400m hurdles.  At that point, my ranking in the country was at stake.  Embarrased and discrouaged, I still managed to leave Nigeria feeling accomplished that I had made it that far.  Arriving back to Fayetteville, I knew it was time to shut it down, reunite with my daughter and relocate to Phoenix, Arizona. <br /><br />Up to date, my vision remains the same. I have just been accepted into Altis, formally known as the World Athletics Center. I am filled with joy about this opportunity and cannot wait to begin fall training in October. But. I can't do it without the help of my family and friends. All donations are accepted. I am forever grateful of you all's' support. I encourage everybody to continue to follow me on my journey to the top. After all, without God and my supporters, I wouldn't be able to do it alone! In the end, I just want somebody to look at my story and say "because of you I didn't give up on my goals and dreams." If they can say that, then God's work has truly been completed through me. That, is far more greater than any medal I could ever receive.

Hurdling Barriers to Brazil

Hello Friends, Family, and Supporters...<br /><br />We started this page in hopes of your support for the <strong>Kile's World Foundation</strong>, a 501c3. Since 2013, running this foundation has provided me comfort and much joy! In addition to several great events, we have had two very successful summer camps in 2013 and 2014. This year we are looking to make this camp even bigger, but we need your support. While the Foundation has been operating sufficiently, it has been functioning with minimal funding. I have donated my personal finances and time, but I need your help. My goal is to offer this summer camp to 50-75 children at no charge. I understand not all parents are financially able to send their children to camp, and I would like to remedy that problem. With your donation we know we can provide more children the opportunity to pursue their dreams in the Arts. I would love "Kamp Kile's World" to be a fun, enlightening, and educational experience for every child. Any amount will help! Let's come together as a community and invest in our children's creativity! <br /><br /><strong>Happy 14th Birthday Kile (March 29)!</strong>  Your love of the arts will not be forgotten, and your memory will forever be in our hearts and minds. We will continue your legacy by offering opportunities to others that carry the same spirit you did! I MISS you every minute and will always love you!!!  xxx<br /><iframe media_type="2" media_id="123244717" class="youtube-replace" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/123244717" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style="margin-bottom:20px"></iframe><br /><br />Areas your donation will impact:<br /><br />.
