Alice has a keen sense of humor and is a notorious flirt. A tiny little
lady, she exudes love, laughter and deep spirituality. Once a lively
dancer, Miss Alice now suffers with asthma and high blood pressure
and most times, struggles for breath.
Neville has a long list of complications: high blood pressure, diabetes,
glaucoma, poor circulation in the feet and on and on. His deteriorating
health is beginning to restrict his mobility.
Neville's woefully inadequate government pension is approximately
US$60 per month.
A ceiling in their one room home would keep the condensation from
falling off the zinc roof and escalating Alice's asthma attacks. They're
also in dire need of an outdoor latrine.

Many older people in Jamaica struggle to survive. Especially those, like our aged friends depicted
on this page, who were not blessed with the gift of children.
Even if they receive a pension, which is not the norm for many in Jamaica, it is totally inadequate
to meet the rising cost of living.
Jamaica has no medical assistance program like Medicare or Medic-aid. Their declining health
requires medical assistance and prescriptive drugs, which are way out of their reach.

Mr "Rock" Murphy, 92 years young, still
works in his field despite being physically
challenged.
Baptised this year, Rock's throaty rendition of
"The Lord is My Shephard ..." is a real treat.
Like all our aged friends depicted here, Rock,
is also childless. Like all our other friends
depicted here, a latrine would be a great
blessing.

Pastors and devout Christians, the Hamiltons
preached and worshipped in many small
churches scattered in rural communities
across the island.
A powerful prayer warrior, Miss Christie lost
her sight some 5 years ago, but remains
wholly trusting in the Lord. She inspires many
with her humility, peaceful aura and fervent
prayers.
