Hurricane Beryl Relief For St. Elizabeth Jamaica
Donation protected
Dave and Jennifer Williams are reaching out to you with heavy hearts and an urgent plea for assistance. Hurricane Beryl has recently devastated the beautiful community of St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, Dave was born and raised. The impact has been catastrophic, and many of Dave's family members, friends, and countless others in the community have been deeply affected.
Why St. Elizabeth?
St. Elizabeth is a vibrant community known for its hardworking residents and the charming roadside stands that dot the area. These small businesses are the lifeblood of the community, providing not only income but also a sense of identity and pride. Unfortunately, Hurricane Beryl has hit St. Elizabeth the hardest, causing widespread destruction. Many of these small businesses have been reduced to rubble, and homes have been damaged or completely destroyed.
The Urgent Need
The majority of the damage has occurred to the small, independently owned roadside stands. These businesses are crucial for the local economy and the livelihood of many families. Without immediate help, it will be incredibly challenging for these entrepreneurs to rebuild and recover.
How You Can Help
We are raising funds to provide direct relief to the community of St. Elizabeth. Your generous donations will go directly towards:
Building Supplies: Purchasing materials to rebuild and repair roadside stands and homes.
Support for Small Businesses: Assisting business owners in restoring their livelihoods.
Aid for Families: Helping those who have lost their homes to recover and rebuild their lives.
Our Promise
Every dollar raised will be directed into the heart of the community. We are committed to ensuring that the funds reach those who need them most, providing immediate relief and support for long-term recovery.
Join Us in Making a Difference
The people of St. Elizabeth are resilient, but they need our help to rebuild and thrive once again. Your support, whether big or small, will make a significant impact. Together, we can bring hope and relief to a community that means so much to us.
Please donate and share this fundraiser with your network. Let’s come together to help St. Elizabeth rise from this disaster stronger than ever.
How Will Funds Be Used?
All funds will be sent to Dave's brother via Western Union (Jamaican bank fees are exorbitant), who is on the ground in St. Elizabeth, Jamiaca. He will use the money to purchase building supplies to repair local businesses, homes and hydro (called current in Jamaica) poles. He will ensure that those in the most need are provided with the supplies they need to pick up the pieces after this storm.
Who are we raising funds for?
We are raising funds for the communities we are a part of in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. These communities are called Sandy Ground and Parotee.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
