Dancehall legend Vybz Kartel has partnered with American Stores and the Help Me Help You Foundation in Trinidad to spread "Christmas cheer" to those in need.


On Friday, December 20, individuals in need will receive donations of appliances, toys, and food items at the St. James branch of American Stores.


While in Trinidad recently for the launch of his business collaboration with Angostura Limited, Palmer also visited American Stores to put things in place for this charitable initiative and commissioned Ornella Luces and her Help Me Help You Foundation to organize and manage the philanthropic effort.



"I get nuff love everytime I forward Trinidad. Mi feel like it was only right I do something for my people here. Trini people love Vybz Kartel & Vybz Kartel love Trini people", said the WorlBoss. "So mi link with Amir from American Stores fi do a giveaway of some appliances and things on my behalf to show some love and appreciation. Nella coordinated and managed the rest of everything and its in full swing!".


Ornella Luces, Chairwoman of the Help Me Help You Foundation, announced that the organization would also provide donations to orphanages and homes for the needy. "This was all Kartel’s idea. We usually do some charity around this time, but not on this scale. I was happy to manage it for him, and Amir Maybodi, the Managing Director of American Stores Ltd., provided the funds to get additional items. We managed the screening process online through our social media pages. Kartel has been a family friend for many years, so I’m honored to help him with this worthy endeavor and look forward to assisting those in need during these tough times."
