Philippines Typhoon Relief
In the aftermath of the devastating and historic typhoon that hit the Philippines late last week, many of us are asking what we can do to help. Not only are the events there a terrible tragedy, but also we have many employees who have been personally affected.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to our teammates who have family or friends in the Philippines. And as every member of our Kindred family has dedicated themselves to the health and well being of others, a tragedy of this magnitude impacts all of us.
A natural disaster of this nature will require not only government agencies stepping in to provide assistance, but private donations will be essential to aid in the recovery in the Philippines.
Seeing this as an opportunity for Kindred to help, we have pledged to make a $25,000 donation to the American Red Cross specifically designated for relief efforts. In addition, Kindred will match all Red Cross donations made by Kindred employees dollar for dollar up to an additional $50,000, for a total contribution by Kindred of $75,000. The Kindred matching form, which outlines what donations will qualify for the match, is attached.
We also understand that some of our teammates have family and friends directly affected by this tragedy, and we want to take this opportunity to remind you that immediate family members needing assistance are eligible for HOPE funds. As a reminder, The HOPE Fund was established to provide monetary assistance to Kindred employees experiencing financial hardship due to a catastrophic life event.
Please feel free to contact Karen Lozado at (502) 596-6876 (Red Cross) or Wendy Swisher at (502) 596-7871 (HOPE) for additional information on the Red Cross matching funds or access to HOPE funds.
The Philippines are still in the very early stages of what will be a long and difficult recovery process. Please keep those who have been affected by the earthquake in your thoughts and prayers.
Best Regards,
Stephen R. Cunanan
