In a significant effort to support vulnerable populations, Faith, Hope and Love Fellowship Foundation has donated essential supplies to the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Social Services, through the Department of Social Services. The substantial donation, valued at approximately eighty thousand Eastern Caribbean dollars (XCD$80,000.00), includes walkers, wheelchairs, kitchen and cleaning supplies, adult diapers, blood pressure monitors, glucometers, leg and back braces and other essentials. These supplies will directly benefit clients at the Dominica Infirmary, CHANCES, Community Hostel Inc., and several schools around the island.
Pastor John Jno Finn and his wife Judith, both from Dominica, presented the donation on behalf of the foundation.
“It is an honour for us as Faith, Hope and Love….a church that my wife and I started in
Nashville. We always had a desire to help Dominica. This is not the first occasion. We have done it for churches and schools and just people who are in need,” Pastor Jno Finn indicated.
“We are glad that we are able to help to provide these items…And I thank you all for working with the less abled people in Dominica…We want to thank you for giving us the opportunity. My wife is the key behind that. I am only the one doing the hard work. Everything I do, I bring my mother into it. My mother saw it, invested in me and my mother is not here to get a diaper so I want to give diapers to all [elderly] mothers who need diapers. And this is the major function that we perform as a ministry-to help those who need help.”
The couple assured that this will not be the last time.
Meanwhile, Minister of State in the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Social Services, with special responsibility for Seniors Security, Children at Risk, Gender Affairs and the Differently Abled, Hon Dr Cassandra Williams, lauded the efforts of the foundation, noting that this act of generosity should inspire others.
“Your contribution is not just a gift—it is a beacon of hope. It sends a powerful message to those in need that they are seen, valued, and supported. We understand that this donation represents not only a financial commitment but also an emotional one. It reflects your belief in a kinder, more compassionate world,” remarked Hon Dr Williams.
“On behalf of our Ministry and all the vulnerable groups we are privileged to serve, I extend our deepest thanks to Faith, Hope and Love Fellowship Foundation for your act of generosity.”
The handover ceremony, held at the Ministry of Health, was attended by representatives from the foundation, officials from the Ministry, including the Permanent Secretary (Ag), Dr Laura Esprit, and representatives from Dominica Infirmary, among others, symbolizing a united effort to support the respective institutions and improve lives.
