As many of you know, Jamaica was recently devastated by Hurricane Melissa, a historic category 5 storm that left unimaginable destruction in its path. The western end of the island--St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Trelawny and parts of St. James-- was hit especially hard. Families have lost homes, farms, and livelihoods.

I'm launching this fundraiser to help rebuild lives and restore hope for those who've lost so much. Partnering with the American Friends of Jamaica (AFJ) allows me to support trusted, on the ground efforts tha provide real relief and lasting impact.

I'm investing in the future of my island home-its people, and its spirit. Your support means the world to me and to my fellow Jamaicans!
