The Telethon is spearheaded by Helping Hands and Jamaica Canadian Association Toronto and supported is by several Jamaican Associations, Jamaica Diaspora Groups, Churches and Community Groups from across Canada.

The Jamaican Canadian Covid-19 Response Telethon is being organized as one of several ways to secure funding for:

  • Jamaican International Students who are experiencing dire strain due to their inability to return home for summer and lack of finances due to under/unemployment in Canada
  • Jamaican visitors to Canada who are now in a precarious position because the borders are closed and they can no longer support themselves in Canada
  • Other vulnerable Jamaicans who are destitute due to the financial impact of COVID-19
