Everyone knows me for capturing Jamaica’s beautiful landscapes. Now I’m shifting focus to document the damage Hurricane Melissa left behind and the long road to recovery. I’ve received so many messages asking me to check on family and neighbours. I want to do that when I’m in their area.
When I ask people what they need most, they say: “We need water, please.” Every time I travel to cover recovery across the island, I will carry packs of water to the western side where access is limited and families are struggling. Your support helps me do two things at once: show the world what’s happening, and bring essential relief to people who asked for help.
If you can, please donate to keep this going. Every trip, every bottle, every act of kindness counts.
