The Jamaican government has announced its support for Cleve “Lt. Stitchie” Laing, a celebrated icon in the Dancehall and Gospel music world, as he battles a severe medical crisis. Lt. Stitchie, 58, suffered a brain hemorrhage earlier this year, leaving him in a coma and requiring long-term rehabilitation. While his family initiated a GoFundMe campaign to offset mounting medical expenses, the contributions have yet to meet the $100,000 target needed for his care.
Lt. Stitchie’s career spans decades of groundbreaking music. From chart-topping hits like Wear Yuh Size to becoming a Gospel Hall of Fame inductee, his legacy has left an indelible mark on Jamaican culture. The artist also received Jamaica’s Order of Distinction in 2021, solidifying his status as a national treasure.
The government’s intervention underscores the nation’s commitment to its cultural stalwarts. It brings hope to fans and family alike, affirming that Stitchie will receive the care he needs. The Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment, and Sport has stepped in to ensure that financial barriers do not hinder his recovery journey.
Listeners, let’s unite in prayer and generosity for Lt. Stitchie. His story reminds us of the power of resilience, faith, and community. Contributions to his GoFundMe campaign remain vital for additional support, as every bit helps during this challenging time.
