I just donated to support the people of Jamaica. 🇯🇲
The aftermath of Hurricane Melissa has left many families in #Jamaica struggling to find basic necessities like food and clean water. My friends at The Authentic Caribbean Foundation is working to send a shipment of supplies to those in need, but we need your help to cover the shipping costs.
Whether it’s a repost to share this mission, or a small donation—every act of solidarity makes a difference.
Rooftop solar has grown significantly in Jamaica over the past decade, and it's seen as a way to become more resilient to ever-intensifying storms. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/11/energy/jamaicans-solar-power-storm/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #climatechange #typhoons #hurricanes #caribbean #solar #renewables #jamaica
I've just heard from sign painter Bug Sav Art in Jamaica who has taken a big hit from Hurricane Melissa.
A friend of his has started a fundraiser as he looks to recover his business, so please donate and/or boost:
Pictured is Bug's 'Wise Words' contribution to the first ever issue of BLAG: https://bl.ag/01.

#ClimateDiary Fundraiser! #Jamaica
My student herself is ok (though it’s been tough), but the place where she stays in the Blue Mountains is completely cut off due to landslides and a collapsed road and bridge. Many people’s coffee crops completely desteoyed, too.
She has set up a fundraiser with local friends to rebuild the bridge. It would be lovely if #ClimateDiary could contribute a little!

Starting to see pretty terrible scenes from Jamaica as news slowly trickles out. Complete devastation in the western part of the country (Negril, Montego Bay, Black River). Not much in the way of images yet. But descriptions of forests levelled by the wind and turned into sticks.
Hoping it's not as bad as it seems, but people have perished and are missing.
Sending all the love and support to all Jamaicans! And those impacted in Cuba, DR, and Haiti too!

Hurricane Melissa, which struck Jamaica as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, was made four times more likely because of human-caused climate change, a rapid analysis said Wednesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/10/31/climate-change/climate-change-hurricane-melissa-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #jamaica #storms #typhoons #climatechange
I see people on the news gawking about what has happened in #Jamaica , Cuba, Haiti, the Carribbean but my feeds on fedi have been really reslly quiet about this issue and I haven't seen any fund raising links or anything much.
As a descendant of Jamaican diaspora I've gotta share it around. Does anyone have any genuine fundraising links I can boost?
Edit: I have been provided with a link to a fundraiser, please boost. Jamaica has never had to deal with a category 5 hurricane until now.It's getting worse.
Hurricane Melissa dealt a direct hit to Jamaica's southwestern coastal communities that face a long haul picking up the pieces as a lack of power and communications across the Caribbean island hampers damage assessments. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/world/jamaica-hurricane-melissa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #jamaica #storms #typhoons #hurricane
