</div>
<div>The workers have a message for all those who donated and are considering to donate:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>"When we knew about the fundraiser we were overwhelmed. We have had very bad experiences with Dutch people, by which we mean the owner Tom Moos, but now Dutch people want to help us. We cannot even explain how we feel that so many people are helping. For 1,5 months we were looking for help and now we have hope again. The money is incredibly helpful for us. The money will be used in a good way. Thank you to the Dutch community for helping." </em> (joint statement from 28 July).

</div>
<div>Een werkweek van 78 uur. Met elf mensen slapen in vier kleine slaapkamers. Je paspoort inleveren. Nooit het beloofde werkvisum krijgen. Dreigende berichten van je werkgever ontvangen als: "Geen excuses als ik heb rechten" en "Als wij de komende twee maanden klachten krijgen over schoonmaak, krijgt helemaal niemand de hele maand betaald."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dit is de werkelijkheid voor de <strong>Filipijnse en Indonesische schoonmakers </strong>die voor de luxe sportschool <strong>Saints &amp; Stars </strong>werkten, zoals aan het licht is gekomen in het op 25 juli verschenen artikel in het Parool. Onder <strong>onmenselijke omstandigheden</strong> hebben zij keihard gewerkt, ver van huis, met één doel: geld verdienen voor hun families. Nu zitten ze zonder werk, zonder inkomen, en zonder visum.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je donatie gaat <strong>rechtstreeks naar de werkers </strong>die in het artikel worden genoemd. Op deze manier steunen we hen financieel tijdens deze moeilijke tijd.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Leden van Saints &amp; Stars, wij dringen er bij jullie op aan om jullie abonnement op te zeggen en minstens het equivalent daarvan te doneren om de schoonmakers te helpen die uitgebuit zijn door het bedrijf.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deze GoFundMe is gestart door een groep mensen die steun wil bieden en solidariteit wil tonen met de werknemers. We staan in nauw contact met de getroffen werkers, via een aantal vertegenwoordigers. Het opgehaalde bedrag zal onder hen worden verdeeld. Voor vragen kun je contact opnemen via de contact knop onderaan de pagina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>[Update proces van uitbetaling] De schoonmakers hebben geen EU bankrekening, waardoor het fonds niet direct naar hun bankrekeningen kan worden uitbetaald vanuit Gofundme. Om op de meest directe en efficiënte manier het geld bij de werkers terecht te laten komen, wordt
</div>
<div>het bedrag eerst gestort naar de bankrekening van Rébecca, omdat dit een Nederlandse bankrekening is, en zal dan direct worden overgemaakt via wise.com naar de (Filipijnse) bankrekening van één van de werkers, waarna vervolgens de schoonmakers het onderling zelf verdelen en gebruiken voor gezamenlijke kosten.

<div>A 78-hour working week. Eleven people sleeping in four small bedrooms. Handing over your passport. Never receiving the promised work visa. Receiving threatening messages from your employer such as: "No excuses like I have rights" and "If we get any complaints about cleaning over the next two months, no one will be paid at all for the entire month."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the reality for the <strong>Filipino and Indonesian cleaners</strong> who worked for the luxury gym <strong>Saints &amp; Stars</strong>. They laboured under inhumane conditions, far from home, with one goal: to earn money for their families. Now, they are left with no job, no income, and no visa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation goes <strong>directly to the workers </strong>featured in the article. This way, we support them financially during this difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Members of Saints &amp; Stars, we urge you to cancel your subscription and donate the equivalent funds to help support the cleaners exploited by the company.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe was started by a group of us who want to offer support and show solidarity with the workers. We are in close contact with the affected workers, through representatives. The raised donations will be divided amongst them. For any questions please reach out through the contact button down below this page.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>[Update on payout process] The cleaners do not have EU bank accounts, which means the fund cannot be paid out directly to their bank accounts from GoFundMe. To get the money to the workers in the most direct and efficient way, the amount will first be deposited into Rébecca's bank account, as this is a Dutch bank account, and will then be transferred directly via wise.com to the (Filipino) bank account of one of the workers, after which the cleaners will distribute it amongst themselves and use it for shared expenses.
