Capt. Barrington Irving's
Humanitarian Flight
to Jamaica

When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica, it left behind devastation and determination. People and entire communities across the island are rebuilding, but they need help now.

In response, a coalition of volunteers, pilots, and community partners, are preparing to deliver more than 100,000 pounds of critical supplies directly to the island. Spearheaded by Jamaican-born Capt. Barrington Irving, a pilot recognized by Guinness World Records as the first Black man and youngest person to fly solo around the world, this team will fly a Boeing 737-800 cargo jet and his own aircraft from South Florida to Jamaica carrying critical survival and rebuilding supplies on two flights: November 10th and 11th.

From the runway to remote parishes, every delivery is being coordinated with trusted local organizations working on the ground for effective last-mile distribution in order to ensure all the aid gets into the hands of those who need it.

Right now, we're gathering both donations of supplies and financial support to make these relief flights possible. You can:

• Donate funds to help fuel and launch the aircraft.
• Contribute supplies from our list of most-needed items.
• Drop off goods at one of our South Florida collection centers listed below.

Every dollar and every item helps us move faster and farther, getting aid directly into the hands of families rebuilding their lives.
