Hurricane Melissa has brought unprecedented devastation to Jamaica, causing tragic loss of life and destruction throughout several southern and western parishes. The severity of damage to homes, infrastructure, and essential services has left tens of thousands in urgent need of support. Recovery will be a lengthy process, and widespread assistance is essential for rebuilding affected communities.

This fundraising initiative, led by Chef Deon—a longtime Martha’s Vineyard resident and proud Jamaican—is committed to partnering with local charitable organizations in Jamaica dedicated to relief and reconstruction efforts.

Your contribution directly empowers humanitarian teams on the ground, helping deliver critical aid such as shelter, food, and medical care to those most impacted.

We are deeply grateful for your generosity and solidarity during this difficult time. Together, we stand behind the Humanitarian Teams on the Ground in Jamaica, responding to people in need.
