Hurricane Melissa Relief for Jamaica
Our hearts and prayers are with our family members in Jamaica as they rebuild after the devastating effects of Hurricane Melissa. In our efforts to help please do not be caught by false and scamming websites seeking to take advantage! Please only donate funds and supplies through the official government of Jamaica website below unless directly sending to family members through reputable shipping companies, banks, or money wiring.
