Couples Resort employees affected by Hurricane Beryl to receive help

Couples Resort employees affected by Hurricane Beryl will received assistance towards rebuilding thanks to generous donation from resort guest through the Issa Trust Foundation.

Paul Issa, Chairman of the Issa Trust Foundation and Deputy Chairman of the Couples Resorts says, “Many of our Couples’ guests had been asking how they could help staff members who had suffered damage from Hurricane Beryl, so we told them they could donate on the Issa Trust Foundation website, with the notation ‘Beryl’ and even specify the particular Couples resort if they wished.”

This initiative has raised approximately J$2.7 million, a figure the Issa Trust Foundation and Couples Resorts says they will match for their employees.

Diane Pollard, President & CEO of the Issa Trust Foundation, emphasizes the foundation’s commitment to health and education in the regions where Couples Resorts are located. ‘We not only support children and families, but also the employees of the resort. We firmly believe that employees are the cornerstone of any company’s success. In turn, during the devastating hurricane, some employees were significantly affected. Our loyal Couples Resorts guests, recognizing the dedication of the staff, also wanted to do something to help the employees in their time of need. It is our duty to assist them and show our gratitude for their hard work and resilience. To that end, 100% of the donations will go directly to the employees, with the foundation matching the contributions to maximize the support.'”
