In the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s devastating impact on Jamaica, a family-run cafe in Wolverhampton, UK, has stepped up to organize a significant relief effort. The L’ouis-Mella Cafe Patisserie, owned by Camille Lange and her family, is spearheading a donation drive to ensure aid reaches all 14 parishes of Jamaica, particularly the most remote and hardest-hit areas. The category five hurricane, with winds reaching 185 mph (297 km/h), has claimed at least 30 lives and left many communities isolated, without access to food, power, or clean water. Camille Lange, who has personal ties to Jamaica, emphasized the importance of community involvement, stating, ‘This is bigger than us. It’s going to take a community.’ The cafe is coordinating with local volunteers to distribute essential items such as food, water, and baby supplies, including pre-made milk formula. The Jamaican government has also provided a list of urgently needed items and online donation options. The L’ouis-Mella Cafe has already received generous contributions from the local community and is urging anyone with connections to affected areas to reach out for assistance. ‘Everything adds up,’ Lange added, ‘and everything will create some kind of aid to someone in need.’ The initiative highlights the resilience and solidarity of both the Jamaican diaspora and the global community in times of crisis.
