Thanks to the donations received, the Royal Resorts Foundation has been able to help 1,222 employees such as housekeepers, waiters, bar tenders, kitchen staff and porters who normally receive part of their pay from tips.<\/p>\n<p>All of these workers have now received food cards to use in local supermarkets in May and with your support we have raised enough money to continue helping them through June.<\/p>\n<p>However, the impact of the crisis means that they will need aid for another month so the Royal Resorts Foundation has set a new goal of $32,000. This is the target amount needed to give a food card to 1,222 employees during the month of July to help them through this crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to your generosity, we have already passed the US$100,000 mark and with your help we can reach the new target.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/foundation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Royal Resorts Foundation<\/a> page to donate to the COVID-19 Employee Relief Fund<\/p>\n<p><span id=\":5qw.co\" class=\"tL8wMe EMoHub\" dir=\"ltr\"><b>A message from two of our employees \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Areli M., Housekeeping, The Royal Sands<\/p>\n<p>Originally from Campeche, Areli moved to Cancun 14 years ago and has been with Royal Resorts for three years. A mother of two, a 16-year-old girl and a boy of six, she says, \u201cWhen I first heard about the COVID-19 emergency and how it was affecting tourism, I realized that it would impact my income and I began to worry about my children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I heard about the Royal Resorts Foundation COVID-19 Employee Relief Fund and I felt that I wasn\u2019t alone.\u201d Arely added,\u00a0 \u201cThe support I\u2019m receiving will help us weather these difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am really grateful to all the members and workmates who contributed to the appeal, thank you so much for your help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy message to our members is that whenever you are able to return we will be here waiting to welcome you.

Thanks be to God we are still here.\u201d Guiliana adds, \u201cWhen I heard about the Royal Resorts Foundation appeal, I breathed a sigh of relief.
