I cannot understand how the rationing and disappearance of Pickapeppa Sauce hasn’t brought about riots?!
Why are we adjusting quietly to this travesty?!

All Airbnb hosts in the Kingston Metropolitan Area (KMA), Portmore, Spanish Town and beyond with electricity, water, and internet, are urgently asked to get your listings back online ASAP.
Many families and relief personnel urgently need short-term accommodation following Hurricane Melissa.
Please check your systems and re-enable your listings immediately so guests can book without delay.
Thank you for doing your part to help Jamaica recover.

Unfortunately, the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) has a lot of work to do. In this short video, we compare Jamaica’s power grid before and after Hurricane Melissa, showing major outages across central and western parishes.

Jamaicans are helping Jamaicans rebuild, one meal at a time. 🇯🇲
Just hours after Hurricane Melissa cleared Jamaica, WCK partner Chef Mark Chong and his team at Mark Chong’s Catering were already hard at work supporting their neighbors. They prepared hundreds of comforting hot meals to deliver to a shelter in Kingston for families impacted by the storm. The dedication of our local partners is at the heart of this response. #ChefsForJamaica

Protect the children.
Be strong for the children.
Hold them tight.
Explain to them that all WILL be fine.

Let us be steadfast. We are in it and we will get through it. Though the winds rage we are in His hands. Sing and pray but do not despair my brothers and sisters. We are one. Her name is Jamaica.

A prayer for those who have to be out working and have left their family at home. The firefighters, journalists, shelter workers, police, soldiers, security guards, hospital workers and all the others. For those who will have to jump right into it as soon as this pass too. 🙏🙏🙏
