Spice, whose given name is Grace Hamilton, said she rented a backhoe and a dumpster truck to clear the road of trees still blocking the way.
“Nothing was stopping me from getting these trucks to the people who are now homeless because of the Hurricane. I also had a truck full of Care packages and Clothing from @gracinoir.”
Spice also highlighted assistance volunteered to them by the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), who travelled alongside the caravan for safety.
“This act of unity exemplifies the collective effort required to rebuild and uplift Jamaica, one community at a time.

His leadership and dedication to this service were pivotal in making this initiative a success, also to Corporal Moesha Allen from St Andrew South police division and,” she said.
