For Elsa, finding out she was sick was devastating. There was no way to be prepared. “It has been tough not feeling well and having payments such as mortgage, utilities along with taking care of my children. When I received the grant, I was overwhelmed with emotion.”

Casey recalls the heavy feeling in the pit of his stomach upon hearing the devastating news that he and his mom had to evacuate immediately due to the wildfires. Unfortunately, they lost their happy home to the fires.
Through this experience I have found strength in my work at Staples. Keeping my daily routine has been the saving grace in this tragedy. Everyone has been so understanding and supportive. Having lost everything I’ve ever owned, I am very grateful that my Mom and our pets are safe.”

James remembers playing with his dog and enjoying the sun during his day off before the weather turned dark, gray and stormy.
Before the storm was over, an oak tree that was 100-years old fell onto my house creating extensive damage.
When I went to work, my managers reminded me of the Share Fund that had also helped one of my co-workers when her house had storm damage. I applied and received a grant that helped me and my family rebuild and recover from the storm. Thank you, Staples Share Fund.”
