The following letter was sent to Medical Missionaries
On behalf of Grace Christian Ministries International, located in Fredericksburg with branches in Jamaica, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation for the significant support you and your team have provided in response to the catastrophic effects of CATEGORY 5 Hurricane Mellisa, which struck Jamaica in October and resulted in widespread devastation across nearly half of the island. Many individuals in our community remain without access to essential resources, including food, shelter, water, and electricity.
When we reached out for assistance, you efficiently organized your team and dispatched a truckload of relief supplies to the impacted areas, which greatly benefited numerous individuals who received these Care Packages. The gratitude expressed by the recipients underscores the positive impact of your generosity.
The scale of need remains critical, and the suffering among our community persists. We
urgently request that you and your team consider continuing this vital initiative by contributing additional supplies or other necessary items, such as food, clothing, building materials, medical supplies, and household goods. We are making arrangements for a subsequent shipment of relief items to Jamaica, which is scheduled to leave between the end of January and mid-February.Enclosed, please find photographs depicting the distribution of relief packages to those in need. Your continued support would be invaluable to our efforts. Thank you for your consideration and commitment to this important humanitarian cause.
Grace Christian Ministries International, Pastor Lascelles Russell.
While we celebrate the immediate relief provided, the need for sustained support never ends. Disasters leave lasting devastation, requiring continued vigilance long after the initial crisis. Your ongoing commitment and resources form the foundation that allows us to quickly mobilize, collect, and prepare essential goods, ensuring we are always ready for the next call for help, whether locally or across the world.
