    Canadians Please Help!

    Since Canadians are still not able to travel to Jamaica until maybe June or July now...
    I'm pleading for your help...from one Canadian to another.

    However you see it...either you chose to postpone your beautiful Jamaican vacation until you felt it was safe to travel again...or...you felt you got screwed by the Gov't cancelling flights to the Caribbean...no judgement from me...but...

    Our friends here in Negril really need your help & I'm not too shy to beg!

    Your contributions will & do make a huge difference in their lives until you can get back here once again.

    Please don't hesitate to help our small businesses struggling to survive...it's only one good night out on the town or depending on where you stay...a night or two at a hotel/resort.

    Thank you in advance ❣️

    Small businesses in Canada are also struggling to survive. Many are closing never to reopen.

    Yes, you are correct that small businesses all over the world are having struggles and many will never reopen.

    Jamaica doesn't have a government support system in place for small businesses and we are trying a voluntary project to help some of them survive.

    No one is forcing you to do anything. You can choose to help support the small business people of Negril, or you can choose not to and wait and see if they close, never to reopen.

    The choice is yours.....

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to those that are able to contribute and donate.

    Please help support your local economy! That is admirable.

    But Negril being a tourism based economy, we don't have the luxury of local support since we are all literally in the same boat.

    Once again, a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts to those that are able to contribute and donate to the small businesses of Negril.

    Don't waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear.

    As Rob said, there is limited help for the business person in Negril. Our small businesses in the states aren't doing well either. We support them as much as the protocols allow; but also support the small businesses in Negril that we would be frequenting on trips that we haven't been able to take due to the pandemic. We have canceled 2 trips to Jamaica. We certainly can put some of the money we haven't spent towards our friends in Negril. This is a great opportunity to show these good people how much we care about them. Kudos and let's keep it going. WM

    Covid is here to stay.
    For those waiting to get back to the way it was, This is the new normal.
    Economies that depend on tourism are going to be in trouble.
    There is no simple answer.
