JAMAICA DISASTER rELIEF

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, countless families in Jamaica have lost everything and urgently need our help. Help Beyond Borders is partnering with the  Jamaica Canadian Associations (JCA), and we’ve launched a relief campaign from November 16th to December 8th to provide essential supplies to those most affected.

This isn’t about replacing what was lost, it’s about restoring dignity, stability and hope.  Please consider donating items from our Urgent Needs List and dropping them off at Newborn Covenant Church, 25 Selby Road, Brampton, ON.

All donated items will be shipped to the Jamaica Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management through JCA.

Helping Jamaica Restore and Rebuild

When disaster strikes, the world can feel heavy but it’s in these moments that human compassion becomes its brightest. Today, the people of Jamaica are facing devastation that no community should endure alone. Homes have been lost, families displaced, and daily survival has become an uphill battle. Yet even amid the wreckage, there is something powerful rising—the possibility of hope, carried by people willing to show up.
