Miramar Commissioner Maxwell Chambers launches campaign to fund mobile medical bus for Jamaica

Miramar Commissioner Maxwell Chambers has launched a 30-day fundraising drive aimed at expanding healthcare access in Jamaica through the deployment of a mobile medical unit.

The initiative, dubbed the “10-30-30 Campaign,” is being led in partnership with the Not Forgotten Corporation and seeks to raise $300,000 to purchase and outfit a mobile medical bus for underserved communities across the island.

Built around a grassroots model, the campaign encourages 30,000 people to donate $10 each over 30 days — a collective effort organizers say can fully fund the project, including support vehicles needed to deliver services directly to communities in need.

“This is about people coming together to make a real difference,” Chambers said. “For many in Jamaica, access to basic healthcare can be a challenge depending on where you live. This mobile unit will bring care directly to those communities. If each of us gives just $10, we can make this happen—together.”

The campaign runs from May 1 through May 30 and is being supported by a coalition of diaspora organizations, community leaders and media partners across South Florida and major U.S. cities, including New York, Washington, D.C. and Atlanta.

Organizers say the mobile unit will provide a range of essential services, including primary care screenings, preventative healthcare and health education, helping to address gaps in access that persist in rural and underserved areas of Jamaica.

The effort will rely heavily on grassroots outreach, social media engagement and earned media coverage to build momentum. Supporters are being encouraged not only to contribute financially but also to amplify the campaign within their networks.

“We’re asking everyone to be a part of this movement,” Chambers added. “Give $10, tell a friend, and help us reach 30,000 people. This is how we turn small contributions into something truly life-changing.”

Supporters can participate by donating online at www.jamobilemedicalclinic.com and sharing the initiative using the hashtags #103030Challenge, #10ForJamaica and #OneLoveOneBus.
