A Note from Our Founder

Hello:

My name is Christine Rhone and I was born in Falmouth, Jamaica. I am reaching out to ask for help and support from our global Falmouth family. One week ago today, our beloved Falmouth was brutally destroyed by Hurricane Melissa. Almost 95% of our town was demolished by one of the most catastrophic hurricanes on record. Now we have local communities struggling with the many hungry, homeless, and suffering trauma on multiple levels. 

I am a product of my Falmouth’s love and even though I no longer physically live in my hometown, she is with me always. My family and I thought it might be smart to reach out to the other towns in the world that bear the name of the special and unique place we call home…Falmouth, Trelawny, Jamaica.

Our Falmouth is in desperate need. The situation after Hurricane Melissa is severe and frightening. We are a proud and strong community, but we have taken a mighty blow and we are asking for help. Like many who now live outside of our beloved hometown, I am doing what I can to create conduits for immediate and long term assistance and support for my community.

I believe that we are all connected and it is these connections that we must strengthen and rely on for a bright future. We need your Falmouth’s help, hope and love. In your time of need we'll be there for you!

Thank you,

Christine A. Rhone
