A birthday spent giving back. 🎁🏠
Former sprinter Asafa Powell marked his special day by handing over newly built homes to families whose lives were upended by Hurricane Melissa. 

With many still unable to celebrate the holidays, he stepped in to help restore stability, safety, and hope.

Powell shared that witnessing the smiles and tears of joy from the recipients was “truly special.” Their support was made possible through community donations via GoFundMe, and extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed.
