Guabancex/Wabansesh the Spirit of Storms devastates Yamaye Communities

The fierce winds and torrential rains of Guabancex/Wabansesh as Huracan Melissa / Hurricane Melissa has come to our island and swept across Jamaica, leaving a trail of destruction, hitting the already vulnerable Yamaye Taino communities with particular ferocity. Our people have lost homes, crops, and essential infrastructure. Immediate action is required not just for survival, but for the preservation of our heritage.

Right now, families are without safe shelter, clean water, and access to food. We need your support immediately to provide basic essential relief and begin the critical work of recovery.

$12,000 USD for Immediate Relief

This initial target will allow us to address the most urgent needs in the next 30 days. Every dollar will be used directly by our Yamaye Guani Council to purchase and distribute the following life-saving supplies:

• Shelter (critical during continued rainy season).

• Water & Sanitation

• Food Security

• Medical Aid

Rebuilding Resilience

Once the immediate needs are met, your support will transition into the Recovery Phase. This includes rebuilding community spaces, replacing lost traditional tools, and restoring the land and crucial crops that sustain our way of life. By supporting this fund, you are not just providing relief; you are helping to safeguard the continuity and culture of the Yamaye Taino people. Our resilience is strong, but we need your help to rise again.
