As my 8-year-old daughter and I watched the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa unfold, we felt compelled to help in any way we could, even from afar.

Jamaica holds a special place in our hearts — we’ve visited several times, and Treasure Beach in St. Elizabeth is especially meaningful to us. Wanting to make a small difference, we came up with a simple idea: selling handmade bracelets. Using her bracelet-making kit, my daughter has started crafting and selling them to raise funds in support of All Hands & Hearts, a trusted charity providing on-the-ground disaster relief.

If you would like to purchase a bracelet for £1 upwards, they are being made this week until Sunday 9th November and would mean so much to us to be able to do our part.

Hurricane Melissa is the strongest storm to strike Jamaica in modern history, with winds reaching 185 mph. It has left behind shattered homes, flooded communities, and families cut off from aid and communication.

Every contribution helps All Hands & Hearts continue their critical work in supporting those affected and rebuilding hope in the aftermath of this disaster.
