I see people on the news gawking about what has happened in #Jamaica , Cuba, Haiti, the Carribbean but my feeds on fedi have been really reslly quiet about this issue and I haven't seen any fund raising links or anything much.

As a descendant of Jamaican diaspora I've gotta share it around. Does anyone have any genuine fundraising links I can boost?

Edit: I have been provided with somes links to fundraisers, please boost. Jamaica has never had to deal with a category 5 hurricane until now. It's getting worse.

I hate that anyone named Melissa will now be associated with this potentially deadly hurricane. I have a friend named Katrina who changed her name to Kat after the 2005 hurricane killed nearly 1400 people.

Maybe we could just name hurricanes/cyclones after the oil companies and the billionaires who profit off them? Have to reuse the names a lot, but we can just add numbers, like we do for Kings or Popes: ExxonMobil III or BP XIX.
