Dear Friends and Supporters,

My name is Kimberly Thomas, and I’m reaching out to you with a heart heavy with concern for my father, Randolph Thomas, a dedicated fisherman from the beautiful coastal community of Rocky Point, Jamaica.

Recently, our lives were turned upside down by the devastating power of Hurricane Beryl, a merciless Category 4 storm that wreaked havoc on our small town. In the blink of an eye, everything my father had worked for was swept away. His humble home, once a sanctuary for our family, now lies in ruins. His fishing boat, the lifeline of our livelihoods, was torn apart by the relentless fury of the hurricane.

For decades, my father has risen at dawn to cast his nets into the sea, not just to provide for us, but to sustain our entire community. His dedication to his craft and unwavering spirit have been a beacon of hope for Rocky Point. Now, in the aftermath of this catastrophic event, he finds himself at a loss, unsure of how to rebuild what the storm has taken away.

We are turning to you, our extended family and friends, and to compassionate strangers who believe in the power of community and kindness. We have launched this crowdfunding campaign on Real Helping Hands with the goal of raising $35,000. This amount will enable us to begin the arduous journey of rebuilding my father’s life and livelihood.

Imagine for a moment the resilience of a man who has faced the unpredictable ocean day after day, only to be humbled by the unyielding forces of nature. Randolph Thomas is more than just a fisherman; he is a pillar of strength in Rocky Point. Your generosity will not only help to reconstruct a home and replace vital fishing equipment but will also restore his faith in the future.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a profound difference in our lives. It will signify more than just financial support; it will be a testament to the collective power of humanity to lift each other up in times of greatest need.

Please join us in rebuilding Randolph’s life and restoring hope in Rocky Point. Together, we can turn the tide of tragedy into a story of resilience and renewal. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, compassion, and support.

With gratitude,

Kim
