Holmes said many of his members are from Jamaica, making this relief effort even more personal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so important for the faith-based community to always be sensitive to those who are suffering. It\u2019s our spiritual responsibility to stand with our brothers and sisters who lost their homes, their farms, and their livelihoods,\u201d Holmes said.<\/p>\n
