We are redefining what a Dolly can be.
Dolly Dreams Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity providing menstrual care, underwear, disaster relief, and dignity centered health education for women, girls, and families. We also celebrate all components of wellness, including beauty.
Our work is rooted in St James Parish in Jamaica, especially Montego Bay and Anchovy, and in South Florida where we mobilize resources, stories, and community power.

Each One Seat One
After Hurricane Melissa devastated schools across St James Parish, hundreds of students are learning without proper seating. Damaged chairs mean girls sitting on broken furniture or sharing seats—impacting their focus, dignity, and ability to learn.
chairs needed to restore dignified learning spaces
Led by our founder’s mother, this campaign partners with local schools to provide sturdy, safe chairs for students. Every chair donated means one more girl can learn in comfort and dignity.
Why St James Parish?
Our work is deeply rooted in the communities of Montego Bay and Anchovy, where we build lasting partnerships and respond to urgent needs.
- Montego Bay Urban center with diverse economic challenges, home to Mt Alvernia High School and now partnered with Garland Hall Children’s Home.
- Anchovy Rural community facing infrastructure challenges, heavily impacted by Hurricane Melissa with limited resources for recovery.
- Post-Hurricane Impact Schools damaged, families displaced, essential supplies lost. Our disaster relief focuses on immediate needs and long-term recovery.
- Local Partnerships We work directly with community nonprofits, schools, and local leaders including Mt Alvernia School and Garland Hall Children’s Home to ensure supplies reach those who need them most.
