My fellow Jamaicans, in the wake of Hurricane Melissa, we have witnessed great challenges. But in the face of this adversity, we have also witnessed the unbreakable spirit of our people.

To those who have suffered loss, your pain is our pain. You are not alone.

The days ahead will require strength, but I have absolute faith in our collective resilience. We are a people who have always turned trials into triumphs.

By linking our hands and our hearts, we will clear the debris, we will rebuild our communities, and we will rise from this stronger than before.

We stand with you, ready to help and serve in every way we can. This is our home, and together, we will see Jamaica shine again.

Let us move forward with hope and unity. Let’s show the world that we are, and will always be, Jamaica Strong. One Love.
