Hearts for Jamaica Update: Spreading Hope and Connection
On November 9th, our Inspire and Serve team visited the Montego Bay Home for Girls—affectionately known as Melody House—to deliver love in action. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we provided essential food, clothing, toiletries, and other much-needed supplies, including a solar power bank to help the staff and girls stay connected. We also began organizing the purchase of a Starlink system with a one-year subscription fully funded, ensuring the home will have reliable internet access to support their studies and communication.
Beyond the donations, we spent meaningful time with the girls—listening, laughing, and learning about their daily experiences. Our team also assessed the facilities to better understand current conditions and identify additional needs as we continue our fundraising efforts and long-term support.
To our incredible donors, thank you for helping us bring light, comfort, and connection to Jamaica’s children. Your kindness is building bridges of hope. We invite everyone to stay involved and follow our ongoing Hearts for Jamaica Giving Campaign—because together, we’re rebuilding lives with love and purpose.
We also had the incredible privilege of visiting Hebron House Teen Pregnancy Centre, where we spent a beautiful and emotional day with the young mothers and their babies—including one expectant mom preparing to welcome new life. We shared warm conversations about their experiences following Hurricane Melissa, offered words of encouragement, and most importantly, listened to their stories with compassion and hope.
Thanks to the kindness of our donors, we provided toiletries, food, clothing, baby supplies, bottles, and other essential goods, helping to ease their daily burdens. We’re also working to equip the center with a Starlink system so that these remarkable young women can stay connected to vital resources, education, and loved ones.
The joy and strength we witnessed were truly inspiring. We can’t wait to return later this month to share laughter and games with the moms and little ones—and to host wellness checkups with local pediatrician Dr. Ilana Dickson, ensuring each child is healthy and thriving.
Together, through the Hearts for Jamaica Giving Campaign, we continue to show that love, community, and compassion can light the way—one home, one mother, and one child at a time.
We can't wait to share more with you!
Come on, keep up with us.
What an incredible journey!
