Σε μία κίνηση ανθρωπιάς, η Hyundai, η Mazda και η Ford ξεκίνησαν προγράμματα βοήθειας για τα θύματα των πρόσφατων πλημμυρών στο Colorado.
Η Hyundai προσφέρει έκπτωση 750 δολαρίων για αγορά νέου Hyundai σε άτομα των οποίων τα οχήματα καταστράφηκαν από τις πλημμύρες.
Αυτές τις δύσκολες στιγμές, το τελευταίο πράγμα που πρέπει να απασχολεί τους πληγέντες είναι το πώς θα αντικαταστήσουν τα αυτοκίνητά τους.
Είπε ο Dave Zuchowski, αντιπρόεδρος πωλήσεων της Hyundai στις Η.Π.Α. Το πρόγραμμα της Hyundai θα τρέξει από τις 18 Σεπτεμβρίου μέχρι και τα τέλη Οκτωβρίου και θα περιλαμβάνει όλους τους κατοίκους περιοχών που έχουν κηρυχτεί κατεστραμμένες από την FEMA. Οι κάτοικοι θα χρειάζεται να παρέχουν αποδεικτικό κατοικίας και μία επιστολή από την ασφαλιστική τους εταιρία που θα περιγράφει τη ζημιά που έχει υποστεί το όχημά τους.
Η Mazda από την άλλη, ανακοίνωσε την Παρασκευή που μας πέρασε πως θα κάνει δωρεά 25.000 δολαρίων στον Αμερικανικό Ερυθρό Σταυρό και 15.000 δολάρια επιπλέον στην Humane Society of Boulder Valley. Ο πρόεδρος και CEO της Mazda, Jim O’Sullivan δήλωσε:
Οι πλημμύρες στις πολιτείες του Colorado, του Texas και του New Mexico ήταν καταστρεπτικές όχι μόνο για τους ανθρώπους που ζουν εκεί αλλά και για τους τετράποδους φίλους τους επίσης. Η Mazda ελπίζει πως αυτοί που χρειάζονται βοήθεια θα μπορούν να την πάρουν μέσω σημαντικών οργανισμών όπως ο Αμερικανικός Ερυθρός Σταυρός και η Humane Society of Boulder Valley.
Τέλος, η Ford προσφέρει την δυνατότητα αυτοί που το έχουν ανάγκη, να καθυστερήσουν τις δόσεις που ενδεχομένως έχουν για αυτοκίνητα της εταιρίας μέχρι να σταθεροποιηθούν τα πράγματα. Το πρόγραμμα ισχύει για κατόχους ή πελάτες leasing αυτοκινήτων της Ford, της Lincoln, της Jaguar, της Land Rover, της Mazda και της Volvo και στην ουσία θα δίνει τη δυνατότητα στους πληγέντες να μην πληρώσουν έως και δύο δόσεις.
