Cayman National today announced a significant donation to support ongoing relief efforts in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa.
In response to the widespread damage and urgent humanitarian needs created by the category-5 storm, Cayman National is contributing US $80,000 to trusted relief organisations including Rotary clubs who are working on the ground to provide emergency shelter, medical care, food supplies, and long-term assistance to affected communities.
“We are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa,” said Janet Hislop, Cayman National Chief Executive Officer. “The historical connection between Cayman and Jamaica cannot be over-emphasised. Cayman National is fully committed to supporting the people of Jamaica as they rebuild and restore their livelihoods.”
Cayman National is also encouraging staff members who are interested in contributing to relief efforts to organise bake sales and other fundraising initiatives. Clients attending Cayman National’s annual Client Appreciation Reception on Wednesday 19 November were also invited to donate to Rotary Cayman, further amplifying the impact and reach of the relief provided.
“Jamaica has a long road of recovery ahead of them, but they stand supported by their Caribbean family and the global community” added Hislop. “As a nation, Jamaicans are known for their resilience, and I have no doubt they will build back stronger and better than ever.”
