Rebuilding Lives After Hurricane Melissa | Jamaica News

Hurricane Melissa tore through Jamaica, wiping out homes, crops, and livelihoods—leaving families shattered. But hope is rising: Richard Ruddock, a dad of six who lost his restaurant, and Dorothy Angus, a 67-year-old ginger farmer whose farm was decimated, are getting back on their feet thanks to grants from the JN Foundation’s ISupport Jamaica Fund. Richard will reopen his eatery; Dorothy is rebuilding her water system to revive her year-round harvest. These aren’t just handouts—they’re lifelines restoring dignity and independence. Powered by Jamaican donors at home and abroad, the initiative has already helped over 20 others rebuild their lives.
