Hello! My name is Reverend Suzanne J. A. Grey.

Prior to October 28, 2025 when the Category 5 storm, Hurricane Melissa, made landfall in the southwestern coast of Jamaica, I launched this independent, personal campaign to support a vital project close to my heart: the restoration and beautification of the Alligator Pond United Church, the church yard, and its grounds, in Alligator Pond, Manchester, Jamaica.

My family's community of Alligator Pond is an amazing fishing village on the southwestern coast of Manchester, Jamaica.

The catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Melissa has left many in extreme dire straits for basic physiological survival needs - food, water, and shelter.

Post Hurricane Melissa, getting help to individuals in Alligator Pond, my father's parish of Westmoreland, and my mother's parish of Clarendon, become my immediate priority.

I now continue to respectfully remember and choose to honor, the wishes of my father, the late Dr. Winston Grey, Sr., Dental Surgeon of Mandeville, Manchester, and the wishes of my Granduncle and Godfather the late Dr. George Frederick Lumsden, Pharmacist, Dental Surgeon, and Optician, of Mandeville, Manchester, in planning this large, multi-phase project involving clean-up, repairs, and beautification of the Alligator Pond United Church, its yard, and grounds.

In honor of my Granduncle's wishes to develop and maintain a tranquil burial space in the church yard where our ancestors and others lay, and my father's love for this community, it is my pleasure to expand on what I have been doing there over the past few years by including your contribution.

The Alligator Pond United Church is a beautiful place of worship, and all the businesses in the community provide places of connection for the elders, adults, youth, and children - families who rely on these places as their community foundation.

Due to limited resources, the church, its yard, and grounds needs our help.

Your support will help to purchase tools, supplies, paint, materials, sitting benches, boundary fences, flowers and more, including hiring local workers to facilitate the project.

Together we can make a powerful, positive, progressive difference towards the goal of contributing to the Alligator Pond community by restoring and beautifying this historic church.

All contributions go directly to this project.

Every contribution makes a big difference.

Please donate if you can, and share this with your friends and family.

Thank you so much!!!
