Checking account? Yea good idea or she could just use her credit card or bank card. LOL. Like many Jamaicans in Negril my friend has no checking account and has no money to put in an account if she had one. She and her family live hand to mouth, day to day. She buys food and other necessities with cash when she has it and has done so her entire life. Next time your in Negril visit the area up the hill behind the taxi stand downtown. You will see an area called "capture land" which is essentially a shanty town-illegally constructed shacks made of whatever material is available. These are the people that make use of St Anthony's kitchen. The poverty is extreme. At 7:00 am you will also see many the the kids in the worn but crisp and clean school uniforms, assuming there is bus or taxi and lunch money available that day.
