It's so Amazing...

and some days it still brings us to tears...
how many have contributed and continue to contribute to our Small Negril Business Project and St. Anthony's Kitchen. We really didn't expect to keep the Project going this long.

We want to send a huge THANK YOU to our many recent contributors, from the group that started this Project and more importantly from those that you're helping in Negril ❣️

This has been a rough, rough road for so many. With the continued lockdowns etc...we've sadly seen some businesses close permanently, some temporarily and many are hanging on by a thread.
Thank You ALL again, for helping keep their businesses going and putting food on the table for the owners and their employees.

If you can help...your $150us contribution means everything to these charming establishments during this difficult time. We hope you'll enjoy your 'I ❤️ Negril' t-shirt and proudly show it off when you return to Negril. Everyone of the business owners are looking forward to meeting you and seeing your t-shirt.

Let's keep this going!

I understand A lot of people are on the fence on whether they should travel to Jamaica. I have to say The appreciation from each Jamaican person I came in contact with was overwhelming. I bought juice fresh patties fruit on the beach I bought bracelets everybody was so appreciative the people in the hotels were appreciative the people in every restaurant was appreciative really a good feeling I would have no second thoughts of traveling again. I have two more trips booked from now till December

Wrtiii & Rumlover or anyone else interested further... we'll provide more information shortly. It can be done, but we're going to make it as easy as possible for you. Thanks as always!

Thanks Lisa, I’ll be watching for more information.

I am truly sorry it has taken this long to get back with an answer about contributing without receiving a shirt.

The business contribution model that has been set up would have to be changed completely to retain its current legal status. The cost and time involved in changing the model would be prohibitive to say the least. Might I suggest is to give your most gracious contribution and when you receive your shirt, either give it to a friend or better yet, bring it with you to Negril and present it to one of the businesses listed on the shirt. I am sure that they would be grateful to receive it!

We were really hoping that we didn't have to continue to ask for help on behalf of the business owners & their employees here in Negril, but this Covid pandemic is putting the squeeze on everyone. In all my years here, I have never seen an October this slow. September was bad, but this is scary slow.

So please, if you have the means, please contribute to the cause at https://negrilstore.com

Miss Honey,
That's our typical stay, Catcha then IA. I forget my suite at Catcha (lower level against Banana Shout) and 203 at IA. It's the perfect combo IMHO. I may give Sea Grape a try next reach. I'm trying to hold out, but I'm not going to make it past Dec - Jan before I have to get down there.

John NYC that would be Virgo I believe at Catcha , we have had that suite . We also like 203 at Idle. I just had that room. I actually had no hot water the last two days the whole block of rooms had no hot water so they let me go across the street to the White House and shower that’s a pretty amazing room over there.

I've seen them and they are beautiful. I need to be in eyeshot of the sand. My wife's sand gravity is like sitting in concrete, so I can't get her off the beach until dark. With 203 I can keep an eye on her from the balcony. Nirvana's Beach Veranda was great for that. I could relax in the bed and easily see her in the water.

Venmo does not work in Jamaica. It is a US only system.

You can PayPal/Xoom to do a transfer from the states though...

Rob,
Sent you a PM
