In the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s devastating impact, the Ultimate Care Centre in Westgreen, Montego Bay, has received a significant boost in its recovery efforts thanks to a generous donation of mattresses. The joint initiative by DunnCox Attorneys-at-Law and the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce has provided critical support to the facility, which suffered severe damage during the storm. The donation aims to replace mattresses lost in the flooding, offering much-needed relief to the centre’s residents and staff. Managing Director Sandy Frazer-Jackson expressed profound gratitude, emphasizing the importance of the contribution in accelerating their recovery process. The flooding, caused by the overflow of the Montego, Barnett, and Pye Rivers, left the lower level of the facility uninhabitable, displacing several residents. Frazer-Jackson highlighted the heroic efforts of four staff members who ensured the safe evacuation of residents to the upper level during the crisis. The donors, Jonathan Morgan of DunnCox and Jason Russell of the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce, underscored their commitment to corporate social responsibility and community support. Morgan described the donation as a modest but essential step in the broader recovery effort, with plans to distribute additional mattresses to affected households in the Catherine Hall and West Green communities. Russell reiterated the Chamber’s dedication to aiding vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly, and outlined ongoing plans to expand relief efforts in the coming weeks. The collaboration reflects a shared vision of rebuilding Jamaica stronger than before, with a focus on long-term support for affected communities.
