I’ll be traveling to Jamaica on November 24th to personally deliver relief supplies to families rebuilding after this devastating loss.
If you’d like to support, items purchased from the list will ship directly to me and be brought down in person. Every prayer, share, and donation truly matters and makes a difference.
Thank you for showing love, care, and solidarity. 🇯🇲 ❤️
