    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.

    The choice is mine and I choose to help support the small business people in Canada.

    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.

    Lisa and Rob;

    Thanks to you and any others involved in this initiative. I guess I take a selfish approach to this. We are fortunate to be able to travel to many different places but Negril is our “return often” spot. We return often because many of the people and places on the tee shirt have welcomed us and made us feel like we are appreciated. I do know it would not be the same vacation without the vendors supported in this campaign and many others we have frequented. I hope they all survive........because I want to be happy when I am there.

    I learned a long time ago that life is not about binary choices so I choose to support both the small businesses in Canada and in Negril. And Lisa you are right, we are all in this together........

    Hoping, fingers crossed for a pandemic breakout trip in the fall��

    ColdInNB...you made me tear up!
    Your message is exactly how I feel about our situation here & in Canada as my heart is in both places.

    As Rob said....there's no Gov't support for businesses here & Everyone involved is blown away by the help that is being given. Thank you so much ColdInNB!
