About this fundraiser

Deahna Joi & Team are raising funds to support people directly on the ground in Jamaica after the devastating aftermath of the Hurricane.
On October 28th, 2025, Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest Category 5 hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic, tore through the Caribbean.
The storm’s eye passed directly over Jamaica, devastating homes, businesses, and entire communities. Neighboring countries including Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Turks and Caicos also suffered severe damage. Many regions remain inaccessible due to flooding, debris, and power outages, with communication lines down across large parts of the island.

Families have been displaced, loved ones separated, and livelihoods completely destroyed.

Jamaica is a land built on community and care, where neighbors become family and visitors are welcomed as one of our own. But today, that same spirit of generosity and warmth needs to be returned.

On December 7th, 2025, a dedicated team of volunteers will travel to Westmoreland Parish, one of the areas most devastated by Hurricane Melissa, to deliver direct aid and relief supplies to those in need.

They need your help now more than ever

I’ve always dreamed of celebrating my honeymoon in Jamaica with my future husband. It’s a place we’ve talked about with so much joy and intention. Seeing the island hit by Hurricane Melissa shifted something in me. Instead of just planning a trip, I feel called to help the people who make Jamaica the vibrant, beautiful place we wanted to visit. Supporting the clean-up and rebuilding efforts is my way of giving back and standing with a community that deserves to rise stronger than ever.
