The Bahamas Government, Fox Foundation, Breezes Bahamas & Usain Bolt Foundation Lead Coordinated Relief Effort for Jamaica

Nassau, Bahamas — December 15, 2025

The Government of The Bahamas, The Fox Foundation, Breezes Bahamas, and the Usain Bolt Foundation have partnered to deliver urgently needed relief supplies to Jamaica following the impact of Hurricane Melissa. The coordinated effort ensured that essential items were distributed directly to families in Falmouth, Jamaica, with on-the-ground support from FYI & Friends.

The initiative reflects a shared commitment among Caribbean nations and organizations to collaborate in times of need, strengthening regional ties through collective action and humanitarian support.

Minister Leon Lundy highlighted the importance of regional unity during times of crisis. “When Caribbean nations stand together, we show the world what true unity looks like,” he said, underscoring the government’s commitment to strengthening bonds across the region.

Adrrian Fox, Founder of The Fox Foundation, emphasized the effectiveness of collaboration across organizations. “The Fox Foundation, together with 25 United and Breezes, helped send in two planeloads of relief supplies during the first week after the hurricane. This new effort simply builds on that early support.”

Muna Issa of Breezes Bahamas described the initiative as a natural extension of shared Caribbean values. “The Caribbean is one family,” she said. “We were honoured to support our neighbours and grateful to the Usain Bolt Foundation, FYI, and friends for ensuring the supplies were placed directly in the hands of those who needed them most.”

Distribution of the relief supplies was coordinated by FYI and the Usain Bolt Foundation, enabling direct delivery into affected communities. Paula Pinnock of FYI reflected on the impact of the outreach, noting the importance of meaningful, cross-island partnerships. “It was a privilege to help place these essential items into the hands of those who needed them. The appreciation we witnessed was deeply moving,” she said.

Usain Bolt also expressed appreciation for the collaboration and its impact on families in Jamaica. “Seeing Caribbean nations come together to help Jamaica means a lot to me personally and to our foundation,” he said. “These supplies made a real impact for families in Falmouth, and we’re proud to have partnered with FYI and our Bahamian friends to get them where they were needed most.”

All participating organizations reaffirmed their commitment to continued collaboration across the Caribbean, working together to deliver timely assistance and support to communities affected by natural disasters.
