PAINT PARTY FUNDRAISER
Helping Jamaica Rebuild After Hurricane Melissa

Why We’re Painting
On October 28, 2026, Hurricane Melissa — a catastrophic Category 5 storm — devastated parts of Jamaica, especially St. Elizabeth and Westmoreland.
• Every home was damaged
• Many families lost their roofs
• Some lost everything
• Many are still without power and running water
We have already delivered food hampers, solar lights, and helped repair roofs — but the need is still urgent.
What We’re Raising Funds For
We are shipping barrels filled with:
✔ Clothing
✔ Hygiene products
✔ Adult & baby diapers
✔ Solar power packs
✔ Tarps
✔ Mattresses
Each barrel costs:
$150 to purchase
$160 to ship
Approx. $100 to clear at dock
💰 $410 per barrel — before supplies
Your participation directly helps us send more life-changing supplies.
