The PwC Foundation steps in after a devastating hurricane
When a catastrophic hurricane made landfall in Fort Myers, Florida, a number of our PwCers were impacted and thrust into chaos. A PwC senior associate shared his story. His family, including his parents, grandparents and great aunt, who all lived in the house, were struggling to stay safe. Within minutes, water surged to waist level.
Thanks to the PwC Foundation's People Who Care Fund, which supports PwC employees facing emergency financial hardship, this PwC employee, along with others in the region, received crucial support that helped cover the cost of temporary housing while their home underwent repairs caused by the hurricane.
He shared, “The support from the PwC Foundation’s People Who Care Fund was truly a lifeline. Their compassion, understanding and quick action meant the world to us during such a difficult time.” The Foundation’s swift response embodies its commitment to supporting PwC employees in times of emergency hardship and building resilient communities.
