A well-known Charleston nonprofit teams up with a group with Jamaican ties to help the island nation decimated by Hurricane Melissa.

Miss Jamaica, Gabrielle Henry, remains hospitalized three days after falling off the stage during the preliminary evening gown round at Miss Universe, according to an update from the Miss Universe Jamaica Organization.

Six people have died of leptospirosis, a rare bacterial illness often found in contaminated water. The storm increased the risk of contracting the disease, officials said.

The roots of relief from Charlotte to Jamaica and in between are making an impact. All this as the island nation works to recover from Category 5 Hurricane Melissa.

Joseph Ochieng and his organization God Provides Ministries International are hoping to make a difference. “We believe that we are going to make a dent, a little bit,” said Joseph Ochieng, founder of God Provides Ministries International.
