Children playing on bounce-about during St. Bess Pharmacy Christmas Eve Children’s Treat
LHJ Partners with St. Bess Pharmacy in Black River to host Post-Hurricance Melissa Children's Christmas Eve Treat - 24 December 2025
Post-Hurricane Melissa much of the focus was rightfully on the practicalities of recovery and restoration efforts. Given the proximity of Hurricane Melissa (28 Oct 2025) to the Yuletide Season, Christmas 2025 would undoubtedly be impacted. In light of this, LHJ sought to partner with St. Bess Pharmacy in Black River, St. Elizabeth, one of the most severely affected communities in Jamaica. This partnership took the form of financial sponsorship aimed at providing some joy and enjoyment for children from that and surrounding communities.

With the passage of Hurricane Melissa on October 28, 2025 many communities across the island and particularly those on the west coast of the Jamaica found themselves in significant need of material support and practical resources. Recognizing this, Living Hope Jamaica (LHJ) successfully partnered with the ‘Training Excellence network (TEN)’, to deliver and distribute well-needed supplies on November 22, 2025 in the second city of Montego Bay. Particular emphasis was placed on supporting families with infant children.
