There are scammers at large. It is best to go through ODPEM for general donations:

Others like the Breds Foundation did great work in restoring Southern St. Elizabeth after Hurricane Beryl last year:
US-based donations can be made at:https://theafj.org/
Please specify "Breds" in the additional info box when making your donation.
