| Hurricane Dean Relief for the island of Jamaica |
|
In response to the needs of the citizens of Jamaica, United States Ambassador to Jamaica Brenda LaGrange Johnson and husband J. Howard Johnson, Ambassadors Sue and Chuck Cobb, and AFJ Chairman, Amb. Glen and Gloria Holden, have each personally pledged US$20,000 to support the roof repairs for one thousand (1000) homes. The "A Thousand Roofs of Love" project will be executed in partnership with the Missionaries of the Poor, led by Father Richard Ho Lung and the American Friends of Jamaica.
We are seeking the support of other willing individuals and organizations that are able to participate in this campaign. Donate Here. |
As
you know the island of Jamaica was struck severely by Hurricane
Dean on Sunday August 19, 2007 causing major wind damage, significant
flooding and storm surges in several of the island's Southern parishes.
Many children and families remain in shelters and have suffered
significant loss in their homes and personal belongings.
There
is a tremendous need for roofing materials to repair the damage.
The goal is to provide materials for 1000 homes at
US$250 per home (allowing $200 for materials and $50 for
food). Your contribution of $250 will provide basic food
and shelter for these families who are in desperate need.
Each home will be provided with 4 pieces of zinc and 4 pieces of
plywood for rebuilding. We need your support! |
