Residents of Trelawny are appealing for urgent help to rebuild their homes, after Hurricane Melissa damaged their properties.

The category 5 hurricane which battered the island, especially western parishes on October 28 has left many homeless, after its strong winds took off many roofs.

Residents of Braco, Rio Bueno and Calabar in Trelawny are among those without safe shelter, more than 2 weeks after the storm.

Irie FM News Reporters Clement Reid and Myesha Broadie delivered care packages to the three communities on Saturday November 8.

Myesha Broadie spoke with several residents and filed this report.

Melissa’s trail of destruction was evident for miles, most buildings showed some sort of damage.

zinc sheets on the ground, roads stretched compromised and downed power lines told the story of devastation.

Residents are trying to pick up the pieces, but this has been difficult for many.

Erick Juttan, otherwise called Indian from Rio Bueno, broke down in tears when our news team brought a care package to him on Saturday.

The 73-year-old took us through his hurricane ravaged home, he said he has been crying a lot since the storm.

As he spoke to us the wind rattled the unstable zinc sheets on his house.

Our next stop was in Calabar, under a cellar where Clovis Hylton, also known as Foodie is taking shelter.

The fisherman who suffered a stroke in July is still recovering.

We observed he had difficulty using his right hand.

He said he did not go to a shelter, because his house survived many storms and he did not expect hurricane melissa to be any different.

Mr. Hylton also wanted to safeguard his furniture.

Mr. Hylton said he would appreciate building materials to erect a better shelter.

Further up the road, there are families who dread when it rains.

Although most of Tracey-Ann Dilworth McEnough’s house has concrete roofing, this did not stop Melissa from pouring rain on those who sought refuge inside.

Mrs. McEnough recounted that  she had to run to the rescue of her 91-year-old mother- an Alzheimer’s patient who was unaware of the danger outside.

Mrs. McEnough is appealing for assistance to repair her roof. 

She is hoping she will never experience another storm like Melissa.

Persons wishing to assist may contact Tracey-Ann McEnough at 1876-423-8452, Clovis Hylton at 1876-587-7417 or IRIE FM News at 1876-561-1463.
