TOGETHER, LET’S REBUILD.

RESTORE. RISE.

Hurricane Melissa, one of the most powerful Atlantic storms ever recorded, slammed into Jamaica as a Category 5 hurricane, leaving a trail of destruction that will take months, even years, to heal.

Entire communities have been devastated. Homes and farms are gone. Roads are impassable. Power remains down across parishes including St. Elizabeth, Manchester, Westmoreland, Hanover, Trelawny, and St. James. Families are cut off from clean water, food, and critical supplies. Thousands have lost everything — shelter, belongings, and their means of earning a living.

In this moment of unimaginable hardship, Jamaicans need us.
