Hurricane Melissa Relief Donations for Jamaica

Support Jamaica’s Recovery After Hurricane Melissa

When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica, it left widespread devastation across the island—damaging homes, flooding communities, and disrupting access to clean water, electricity, and essential services. Families have lost not only their possessions but also their livelihoods. The road to recovery will be long, but together we can help rebuild hope and restore stability.

### The Situation

Thousands of Jamaicans are facing urgent humanitarian needs. Many communities remain without power or safe shelter, and access to food, clean water, and medical care is severely limited. Vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities are at particular risk.

Your support can help provide immediate relief and long-term recovery assistance to those most affected.
