The Perrys
2020Visually impaired family. House, furniture, white goods, electronics.
Impact since 2019
Every number has a name.
Every figure on this page is a person you can point to - a family in a finished house, a graduate with a credential, a community fed by a yellow bus that actually showed up.

Pillar 01 - Shelter
Houses that became homes.
The first thing people ask for, when everything else has gone, is a roof. Since 2020 the Plankanation has put four featured families - and many more besides - behind doors that lock, beneath ceilings that hold. Every brick, fitting and fridge accounted for, line by line, on Donna's live platforms.
Solaine Anderson
2020Single mother and son. Finished home and full kitchen.
Ratty's Family
2021Orphan children and the elderly carers raising them.
Quame & Son
2021Visually impaired single father and his young son.
Pillar 02 - Education
Tuition paid. Futures opened.
Cheques don't go to students - they go straight to bursars, schools and faculties. That's how four young Jamaicans from limited circumstances walked across a stage in 2024 as a nurse, an accountant, and two doctors. Their textbooks, rent and exam fees were carried by donors who will never meet them.

Pillar 03 - The Yellow Bus Mission
Positivity & Purpose, on wheels.
The Yellow Bus pulls into a community with food, supplies, and a crew in matching tees - but it leaves something less obvious behind: the proof that someone bothered to show up. The Mission partners with Jamaican companies that donate inventory at scale, and with volunteers who unload it one box at a time.
In 2025, Auntie Donna was honoured with an award for the Plankanation Yellow Bus giveback.
Pillar 04 - The Margins
When the safety net misses, we catch.
A stove for a mother cooking on the floor. A fridge for a grandmother managing diabetes. A wheelchair user who needed cash for medication, not pity. Each crowdfunded request is published, funded, and accounted for in public - the receipts as visible as the appeal.
- → Direct individual relief, not institutional flow-through
- → Receipts posted to Donna's platforms
- → Small business start-up grants for those with drive
