Description

Like so many other Jamaican women, Charmaine Donaldson was a victim of teenage pregnancy. When she was 15 years old, Donaldson was forced to drop out of high school because she became pregnant with her son, Robert Grant. To compound her woes, Donaldson’s child was born with cerebral palsy, which is a disorder that affects a person’s ability to move and maintain balance. Charmaine Donaldson does a little farming to help offset some of the costs but it is not enough to cover the medical expenses and general needs for her son so any help no matter how small it may seem would be highly appreciated.
