  • JAMAICA RELEIF MISSION Due to Hurricane Melissa - with Semone Blair Walker - Entrepreneur

    JAMAICA RELEIF MISSION Due to Hurricane Melissa - with Semone Blair Walker - Entrepreneur
    Dec 28 2025
    As a proud Jamaican-born woman, I’ve seen both the beauty and the hardship of our island home. Years ago, after losing everything in a storm, I experienced firsthand the pain of starting over with nothing but hope. That experience changed me — it taught me resilience, gratitude, and the power of helping hands.

    Today, my husband and I are blessed to give back through The Sember Foundation, our new non-profit dedicated to health, healing, and human welfare. Together with our family businesses, Meobachi and OWLINC Transportation, we’ve come together to launch this first relief drive for the people of Jamaica affected by devastating storms and displacement.
    This mission is deeply personal. I remember what it felt like to be in their shoes — to wonder if help would come. Now, I want to be that help for someone else.

    Our goal is simple but powerful: to provide immediate relief, support rebuilding efforts, and promote long-term wellness for those most in need. This initiative marks the beginning of a movement — one built on faith, compassion, and community.

    We may be a new foundation, but our heart is strong, and our purpose is clear. Together, we can turn pain into possibility and restore hope for families across Jamaica and beyond.
    Every donation, every share, every act of kindness helps us move one step closer to healing our world — starting right here, right now.

    Respectfully,
    SEMONE

    The Legacy of Mike FreelandThe mission of Mike’s life began when he became employed by the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department as a Firefighter. He made this career decision after observing the dedication of his uncle, fireman George Freeland IV. Above all, Mike was dedicated to helping others in and around his community. This profession gave him the rights of passage to be a modern-day hero, as would show true through his unwavering courage and commitment to serve. The purpose of Mike’s time on earth was shown to his community and to the world as he sacrificed his own life for the lives of others.

    On November 11, 2021 while in the line of duty, Engineer Michael Lee Freeland went home to be with the Lord. The Mike Freeland Foundation was founded by Mike’s mother, Mrs. Terona Feacher, after his passing. With the financial support from our community, through this race and other fundraising to come, The Mike Freeland Foundation will provide scholarships and mental health counseling.
