THE MISSION
Hurricane Melissa tore through Jamaica leaving destruction across the western parishes of the island. While many survived the storm itself, the real danger is unfolding now. Entire neighborhoods remain flooded weeks later, not just from rainfall but from underground waters rising up and swallowing whole communities.
Roads have been washed away or buried by landslides, and bridges connecting small towns have collapsed. In some areas, electricity will not return for months, which means no running water, no refrigeration, and no way to keep food from spoiling. Families are trapped in isolated areas with limited access to clean water and medical care.
The floodwaters have contaminated wells and created pools of stagnant water that are breeding grounds for mosquitoes and bacteria. There is growing fear of a dengue fever outbreak, along with other waterborne diseases that spread quickly when sanitation systems collapse.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND
Although the Jamaican government has sprung into action and international aid is arriving for the most severely hit areas like St. Elizabeth, the reality is that the damage extends far beyond those zones. Many small rural communities remain cut off, unseen, and unreached. These are the neighborhoods I am trying to reach.
I will be boots on the ground, traveling through these areas with a small team of local individuals who know the terrain and the people. Our mission is simple: reach the forgotten and deliver what they need to survive and rebuild.
Your donations will help provide:
Food, clean drinking water, and hygiene essentials
Food, clean drinking water, and hygiene essentials
Solar backup systems and solar-powered lights for homes without power
Building materials for roof and home repairs
Medical and sanitation supplies to prevent disease outbreaks
Transportation and logistics to reach flooded and isolated areas
Every contribution goes directly toward the effort. There are no middlemen and no bureaucracy. It is real help from real people, delivered with care and accountability.
I will personally share updates, photos, and videos from the ground so you can see exactly how your support is making a difference.
Jamaica needs more than promises; it needs presence. Together, we can bring light, hope, and relief where it is needed most.
🇯🇲 One Love. One People - together we rise and rebuild.
💚 Support Through Care Packages
We are also working with My Emollient, a small business dedicated to wellness and care, to assemble care packages for families affected by the hurricane. These packages include essential items such as food, hygiene products, baby supplies, and basic household goods for those who have lost everything.
If you’d prefer to contribute by purchasing directly from the Amazon Registry, please use the link below. All items will be shipped and distributed directly to the most affected rural communities.
