A Lyttle Goes a Far Way Foundation Donates Care Packages

Scores of persons, including individuals attached to the Jamaica Society for the Blind (JSB), have received care packages from charity group, A Lyttle Goes a Far Way Foundation.

The entity, formerly known as Breaking Pains Outreach, is founded and headed by Jamaican and United States based Human Rights Consultant, Kay Lyttle.

The organisation is dedicated to serving inner city communities, as well as uplifting and restoring hope in communities in need around the world.

Recently, the foundation rescued a woman from the streets of Kingston, providing her with much needed medical care.

“We went door to door, and we fed the elderly, and then finally, we went to the Seaview Gardens in Kingston, where we rescued a woman that had been living on the streets for quite some time,” Ms Lyttle told JIS News.

“We gave her a shower, and we took her to the Bellevue Hospital, where she is now being treated for the past week and a half, and we are building her a little place, so when she gets out, she has a safe place to go instead of going back in the streets,” she said.

Ms. Lyttle, who has been doing outreach activities in Jamaica for over 22 years, also provided care packages to the Jamaica Society for the Blind, in honour of an aunt who was visually impaired.

“She has lost some of her sight, and she has been a part of that organisation for many years, and I have seen the work that they put in. That is the reason why I chose the Society for the Blind this year,” she said.

Chairperson for the Welfare Committee at the JSB, Mary Mitchell-Coombs said the gifts show that people have a “heart to help those persons who are less fortunate”.

“Although we have had successful blind persons, the majority of the persons who are blind and visually impaired are below the income threshold and so when we get these things, when people think of us to contribute, we surely appreciate it. I want them to know that the persons appreciated what they contributed, and we look forward to working with them in the future,” she said.

For her part, Pastor Cavel Bailey at the Endtime Generation Ministries International, described Ms. Lyttle as a “real person”.

“She is not looking for nothing, just a Christ-like mind, standing up for our brother and our sisters. She helped me and my family too, I asked the Lord to bless her and bless her home and bless her team, bless her Foundation. It is a great thing that you have done to take somebody who is mentally ill from off the street, and I want to give her a special thanks for that,” Pastor Bailey said.

Meanwhile, Ms. Lyttle expressed appreciation to her two local coordinators, Claudie Duncan and Veron Underhill.
