Hi everyone! I'm Kathy Amezcua from Belmont, CA. Some of you may know my parents, Sandy Lawson and Frank Gutowski. They have been owners of weeks 37, 38 and 39 since 1992.
This fundraiser was created in response to the huge amount of members with the common desire of joining together to help the Costa Sur employees, our family, during this critical time. Our goal is to raise funds for all employees of Costa Sur that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Costa Sur is currently at about 8% capacity and is expected to be under 10% during the months of August and September.
The donations are being distributed equally among the employees in hopes of replacing a portion of what they would have made if they were working, so they are able to pay for their basic necessities; rent/mortgage, utilities, food, etc.
The employees, our family, that wait on us hand and foot and cater to our every whim, need our help. Anything you are able contribute will help!
My husband and I are working closely with Fernando from reception, Veronica from member services, Juan Quintero from security and Ludva from housekeeping. Round 1 of donations was distributed on 5/6/2020 and was a total of $36,132 dollars and round 2 was distributed on 6/3/2020 in the amount of $18,013.
Round 3 of distributions will be on August 19 at a designated site that we all agree upon. We distribute individual envelopes to each employee and each employee signs and dates our journal showing how much they received. Photo and video documentation is made.
I am attempting to be as transparent as possible. If anyone has any concerns or suggestions, please let me know. I will keep receipts for all bank transfers, transactions and distributions. Plus I have the amazing Costa Sur team and they have come up with an absolutely seamless process that documents every step of the process.
The CS member page on Shutterfly has a ton of pictures from our first two distributions along with a detailed account of the process.
