Hurricane Ida made landfall in New Orleans in late August 2021, the exact day of Hurricane Katrina's 16th anniversary. Hurricane Ida's destruction left more than a million people with no electrical power and flash flooding through the entire region. Hadasha and her one-year-old needed to evacuate quickly and were left displaced from their home. The assistance Hadasha received from the TCRF was used for shelter, food, and clothing during their extended evacuation.

Caring for Our Associates
New Orleans: Shelter During the Storm
Hawaii: Flooded with Hope
Rainfall is common in Kauai, but a strong storm in Wainiha in April 2018 had Brian fleeing his flooded home. After the water receded and Brian surveyed his home, it needed extensive repairs. He reached out to the TCRF and secured a grant to help him rebuild his home and start anew.
Nepal: A Helping Hand
In April 2015, Nepal was rocked by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake and its aftershocks, causing widespread devastation and loss of life. Even though there were no hotels in Nepal, the families of 257 Napalese associates at our properties in 11 contries were impacted.
