Jamaica Needs Your Help After Hurricane Melissa
On October 28-29, 2025, Hurricane Melissa—**the strongest hurricane ever recorded to hit Jamaica**—devastated the island nation with catastrophic force. This Category 5 monster brought winds exceeding 280 km/h (174 mph) with gusts over 200 mph, torrential rains of up to 40 inches, and storm surges reaching 13 feet.
The Devastating Reality:
Right now in Jamaica:**

– **6,000 people remain in emergency shelters, many having lost their homes completely
– **Entire communities are underwater** or cut off from aid, especially in St. Elizabeth Parish
– **Families are trapped in their homes** awaiting rescue
– **Critical infrastructure is destroyed** – hospitals, schools, roads, and water systems
– **250,000 children** face urgent needs for clean water, food, and sanitation
