🌪️ When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica in October 2025, it changed lives in an instant.
For Miss Yashaica Scott, a Grade 2 teacher at the Darliston Primary School in Westmoreland, the storm did more than cause damage, it destroyed her home. 🏠💔
In this heartfelt account, Ms Scott shares her experience of loss, resilience, and the challenges she continues to face as she seeks support to rebuild. Her story reflects the reality faced by many educators who continue to serve their students while recovering from the devastating impact of the disaster on their own families. 📚❤️
🤝 If you would like to support Ms Scott in rebuilding her home, the National Education Trust welcomes your assistance.
