The A’Legends Helping Hands Foundation is deeply committed to giving back, continuously supporting communities across Jamaica through education, empowerment and humanitarian outreach. Jenelle Alexia, CEO of A’Legends brand, has supported her Jamaican roots in various ways.
“Through my A’Legends School Tour, I impacted over 3,000 children across more than six schools in Kingston and Spanish Town, donating school supplies, tablets and books to enhance school libraries and learning access,” said Jenelle Alexia.
“I have also provided trophies and certificates for youth events celebrating creativity and excellence, clothes and sponsored fatherless children in Jamaica.”
The foundation has donated funds to students, sponsored fatherless children by providing graduation gift baskets and back-to-school assistance and contributed clothing and essential supplies to families in need. Now, Jenelle Alexia has launched the Hurricane Melissa Relief Drive for Jamaica.
“We will be sending over four barrels of essential aid items to families affected by the storm. My ongoing efforts reflect how deep my love for Jamaica is and my belief in building hope, unity and opportunities for the next generation.”
The A’Legends Helping Hands Foundation isn’t new to giving back, as they’ve fed over 100 families on Thanksgiving Day in Philadelphia. They have also donated canned goods to several churches and shelters. With the Hurricane Melissa Relief Drive for Jamaica, contributions poured in from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware.
Jenelle Alexia is overwhelmed by this outpouring of support but thankful for those who donated and assisted in putting everything together. And while four barrels are not nearly enough, she hopes this endeavor will bring about a greater relief by others to those in need.
“Jamaica was damaged badly, so this initiative isn’t just a one time thing. Jamaica will need consistent help, dispersed over a long time. The government can only do so much. Therefore, it is as a people, we have to help do our part.”
Her A’Legends brand and A’Legends Helping Hands Foundation will continue to bring hope and support in future efforts.
“Although I’m not a born Jamaican, Jamaica raised me, Jamaicans raised me and Jamaica gave me a lot, so I will see to continuously doing my part and seeking strength to do so from the Most High.”
