Hurricane Melissa Relief Appeal.
When disaster strikes, the most vulnerable are hit the hardest. The Merle Thomas Foundation is stepping forward to provide immediate relief to families across Jamaica who are facing displacement, loss, and uncertainty.
What are we doing on the ground?
The foundation, with the help of our amazing volunteers, is assembling care packages filled with essential items, including food supplies, hygiene products, medical basics, and other necessities that help families stay safe, healthy, and supported during this difficult time.
But we cannot do this alone.
Your support allows us to put these packages into the hands of those who need them most. Whether through financial contributions, donated goods, or corporate partnerships, every act of generosity makes a real difference.
Supporting the Spalding Community.
The Merle Thomas Foundation has chosen to focus our relief efforts on the Spalding community, one of the areas most significantly impacted and in urgent need of support. Many families in Spalding are facing displacement, limited access to clean water, and ongoing disruptions to daily life following the recent disaster.
By concentrating our resources on a single community, we can ensure that our response is targeted, effective, and meaningful. This approach allows us to deliver care packages directly to households, identify specific needs on the ground, and provide sustained support as families begin to rebuild.
Our aim is not only to provide immediate relief, but to stand with the people of Spalding during this difficult moment and help restore stability, dignity, and hope.
Your contribution helps us make a direct impact - family by family, home by home
