JAMAICA HURRICANE MELISSA RELIEF DRIVE

🌪️ About the Crisis
On October 28, 2025, Hurricane Melissa struck
Jamaica as a Category 5 storm, one of the most
powerful ever recorded in the Caribbean.
The storm made landfall in New Hope,
Westmoreland, devastating homes and
livelihoods across St. Elizabeth, Manchester,
Hanover, St. James, Clarendon, and St. Ann.
Entire communities have been left without
power, water, or basic necessities, including
shelter. Families are facing weeks, even months,
of uncertainty.
But through faith, unity, and action, we can help
Jamaica rise again.
