Tampa nonprofit · Hurricane Melissa relief · Jamaica 2025

$130,000

Raised and delivered to families in Jamaica.

When the hurricane hit, our founders flew in themselves with food, water, building materials and medical supplies. Every donated dollar went to relief. Now we're bringing that same direct help home, to Tampa Bay families in crisis.

Our Why

“The situation is dire and a true ‘all hands on deck’ moment is upon us.”

In October 2025, Phillip Matar and Graeme Patrick flew to Jamaica with their own money and time to buy and hand out food, water, building materials and medical supplies. Friends and neighbors backed them with $130,000.

— Phillip Matar, Co-Founder
