Delivering Dignity: The Bra Recyclers Support Hurricane Melissa Relief in Jamaica
When Hurricane Melissa 2025 moved across Jamaica, it left entire neighborhoods struggling to recover. Families lost homes, access to essentials, and a sense of stability.
In response, The Bra Recyclers is supporting The Undie Chest and Miya’s Foundation to send new underwear to families rebuilding after the storm.
These shipments provide comfort and dignity at a time when both are needed most.
Turning an Overlooked Resource into Relief
Every year, The Bra Recyclers works to extend the life of bras and underwear through reuse and redistribution.
This initiative takes that mission a step further, ensuring essentials reach communities recovering from natural disasters.
Funds raised will help cover the $1,500 shipping cost needed to deliver these supplies from the U.S. to Jamaica.
Contributions support packaging, logistics, and distribution through Miya’s Foundation, making sure donations reach the people who need them most.
Each dollar helps deliver clean underwear that brings relief and restores comfort for families affected by Hurricane Melissa.
Why This Matters
In the days after a disaster, people often think about food, water, and shelter. Yet essentials like underwear and personal care products are just as vital for daily comfort and dignity. They help families feel human again after an immense loss.
Supporting this effort means helping restore those simple but powerful necessities that carry people through recovery.
How You Can Help
Funds raised will help cover the $1,500 shipping cost to deliver relief supplies from the U.S. to Jamaica by November 30, 2025.
Each box we’re sending will contain around 200 pairs of new underwear, socks, and bras for women and men.
A $50 donation ships one box of these essentials to help restore comfort and care for families rebuilding after Hurricane Melissa.
Any contribution toward this amount helps us deliver more essentials to people in Jamaica.
Your support helps move these essentials quickly and responsibly through our partners at Miya’s Foundation.
