📣 Dear Friends and Community Members,
During what was meant to be a joyful visit to Jamaica to reconnect with family and enjoy a much-needed vacation, we found ourselves in the midst of Hurricane Melissa. Experiencing the storm firsthand and seeing the devastation that followed was both humbling and heartbreaking. Power lines were down, homes were damaged, and families were left without the basic essentials we often take for granted.
🇯🇲Many communities across Jamaica continue to suffer deeply. In particular, Clark’s Town and Duncans in Trelawny Parish have been severely impacted. Families have lost homes, personal belongings, and access to food, clean water, and daily necessities.
In response, Winrose Oasis Counselling Services in Ontario has launched the Jamaica Hurricane Relief Drive, focused on supporting these affected communities. Our goal is to collect and ship essential supplies to help families rebuild their lives and restore hope.
We are calling on our friends, neighbours, and community partners in Hamilton and surrounding areas to join us in this act of compassion and solidarity.
