KINGSTON, Jamaica – In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, which has left a trail of destruction across western Jamaica, the JN Group has intensified its humanitarian efforts to aid recovery. The organization has revived the ISupportJamaica Fund to facilitate donations from overseas Jamaicans, targeting relief and reconstruction in severely impacted areas such as early childhood institutions, healthcare facilities, and homes for the elderly. Claudine Allen, General Manager of the JN Foundation, expressed gratitude for the global response, highlighting contributions from Jamaicans in the UK, including essential supplies destined for Food for the Poor. Donations can be made through JN locations in the UK, remittances via JN Money Services, or direct bank transfers to JN Bank account 2094768349. Further details are available on the JN Foundation website. Beyond financial aid, the JN Group is mobilizing employee volunteers in collaboration with St John’s Ambulance and the Jamaica Automobile Association to provide medical care and debris clearance. The first volunteer team will assist communities in St Elizabeth on November 2, with plans for continued support. Allen emphasized the urgent need for medical assistance, as local hospitals are overwhelmed and debris hampers movement. She also stressed the importance of sustainable aid, leveraging the JN Circle network, which has distributed $20 million in aid over the past two years. Allen urged Jamaicans to volunteer through organizations like the Council for Voluntary Social Services, calling for unity in recovery efforts. ‘We will only recover and rebuild if we do it together,’ she concluded.
