Transgender Jamaicans are often left out of relief efforts and are discriminated against when seeking access to care. If you can, pls consider donating to local relief efforts that prioritises the trans population: rustinfund.org/2024/10/08/tra…

These links are by trusted orgs who have already been doing the groundwork to aid LGBTQ+ Jamaicans, and can be trusted in ensuring your donations go directly to assisting those in need. You can google and check the websites of each org as well for credibility.

I am now in St Elizabeth and images of destruction are all around. The damage is great, but we are going to devote all our energy to mount a strong recovery.

The trans and gender diverse communities are normally left out of national efforts. We urge you to donate directly to our cause as it will help us support our displaced people. Rustin fund: rustinfund.org/2024/10/08/tra…
