TWG Houston - Hurricane Relief
Donation protected
Our Company has a manufacturing facility located in Houston, TX, employing approximately 90 teammates. While all of the employees were impacted by Hurricane Harvey, three employees in particular suffered severe losses.
Carlos had nearly four feet of water in his home and had to be rescued by boat. His losses included two cars, all major appliances, clothes, essentially everything inside his home.
Ricky was able to save his two cars, but all other contents of his home were lost, including appliances and clothes.
Alba had recently moved into her home with her children. The home took on approximately three feet of water. Her lossses include one car, clothes and appliances.
(For privacy purposes, I have not included last names.)
As these employees were not in an identified flood zone, they did not have flood insurance. They are truly starting over.
The team in Houston has been remarkable. There are numerous stories of co-workers opening their homes to those who needed a place to stay. Everyone is pitching in to help each other get back on their feet during this difficult time.
All donations made to this GoFundMe page will be equally distributed to Carlos, Ricky and Alba.
Thank you!
