You may have left the Caribbean to pursue a better future, but the Caribbean never left you.
Whether you live in New York, Toronto, London, or Atlanta, your connection to home is more than emotional—it’s essential. Across the region, hundreds of rural clinics operate without basic medical supplies. Chronic illnesses go undiagnosed. Young people face mental health crises with no counselors in sight. Natural disasters leave entire communities without access to care.
And yet, the diaspora holds the power to change this.
Why the Need Is Urgent
Hurricanes, economic instability, and under-resourced public health systems leave many Caribbean islands in a constant state of vulnerability.
According to Direct Relief, recent storms left dozens of clinics without running water, vaccine refrigeration, or basic wound care supplies.
Women often delay necessary reproductive health care due to shame, cultural barriers, or a simple lack of providers. Teens struggle with anxiety, violence, and suicidal thoughts, but don’t have access to a trained counselor.
In summary, we require everyone’s assistance.
