Noah Lyles donates essential supplies to Junelle Bromfield’s hurricane-hit hometown

Asafa Powell, Orlando Bennett join in initiative

ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — US Olympian Noah Lyles, through his Lyles Brothers Sports Foundation, has made a generous donation of essential supplies to hurricane victims in Georges Valley, St Elizabeth, the hometown of his fiancé and fellow track athlete Junelle Bromfield.

The supplies, which included groceries and toiletries, were packed and handed over by retired Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell and wife Alyshia among others.

“People are really suffering, as much as I can help, I will help,” Powell said in a video of the handover shared to his social media pages.

“The more people come together is the more people we can feed,” Powell added.

World 110m hurdles silver medallist Orlando Bennett joined in the initiative and urged others to assist in the hurricane relief efforts if possible.

For her part, Bromfield, a former student athlete of St Elizabeth Technical High School, said via a video message that she wanted to pay it forward to her hometown after seeing the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. The Category 5 storm made landfall in the southwest of Jamaica on Tuesday before leaving a trail of destruction in St Elizabeth and surrounding parishes.

“The community was always helping me out, whether it was in high school to go to Penn Relays, they raised money, taking me to school for free… So I really wanted to give back,” Bromfield said.
