Dear network, Amidst the difficult news that has been impacting Rio Grande do Sul in recent days, I would like to share something of extreme importance and urgency with you all. Floods have devastated entire communities, leaving families without homes, belongings, and, in many cases, without hope. It is in times like these that our solidarity and empathy become crucial. Therefore, I'm here to share the link to a fundraiser that has been initiated to help these families rebuild their lives. Every contribution, no matter how small it may seem, makes a significant difference. Let's come together, let's extend our hands and our hearts to those who need it most. Together, we can bring a ray of hope to these affected communities. The link to the fundraiser is here https://lnkd.in/eWYDT_cA. In this challenging time, let us maintain strength and faith. With love, solidarity, and action, we can overcome any adversity. I count on you all. Warm regards, Fernando Amidst the floods that have inundated Rio Grande do Sul, we raise this channel of hope. A historic flood has left a trail of destruction, carrying away not only homes and belongings but also dreams and aspirations. Now, more than ever, these families need our support, which is why we are opening this donation channel. Every penny raised will be carefully channeled in the form of direct donations of furniture and appliances to the families of São Leopoldo, one of the hardest-hit by this tragedy. https://gofund.me/a35514a7

The first time I moved to Florida in 2004, there were 3 #hurricanes that I experienced that year. I remember asking "is this normal?" Luckily it was not normal. But living back in Florida has me thinking about hurricanes again. Fortunately, SBP thinks about natural disasters all the time! Although they can't prevent them, they can help disaster survivors recover faster. They are a #nonprofit that was created after Hurricane Katrina, and have been working on ways to prepare communities inside and outside of New Orleans for disasters, and support them in the aftermath with home rebuilding. They have continuously improved their processes with the support of Toyota Motor Corporation and their #TSSC consultants. We recognized them for their efforts with the 2024 Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers "Excellence in Sustainable Development" award. A donation to SBP ensures that in the wake of the next disaster, impacted families can receive immediate assistance.

For my fellow SDRs, AEs, and CSMs: If you have accounts located in SW or Central Florida and you're scheduled to reach out to them in the next few days please let it be compassionate, empathetic, and supportive (not sales-y). I can assure you that a "cost-effective alternative to Brand X" is the last thing on someone's mind in the middle of a Category 3 Hurricane. If you are going to reach out, ask if there's anything you or your company can do, once the storm has settled. There are charities and organizations that invest donations back into the community to help repair or replace any damages that may be incurred. Pray for the best but prepare for the worst. Furthermore: If you do decide to donate - do it without motive! I've included some links in the comments section to get you started. #HurricaneIdalia
