How We're Keeping Cool Together: The Footballer Plus Calamity Fund

In the heart of our Footballer Plus team, there's always room for a little story about how we've got each other's backs, even when the sun's beating down a little too hard.

So, picture this: Jeff, co-founder of Footballer Plus was chatting with a few of the team members recently. Nothing too serious, just shooting the breeze. But in the midst of it all, he picked up on something important – the scorching heatwave that's been hitting the Philippines.

Jeff's different from the kind of guy to sit back when there's a problem. Nope, he's all about taking action. So, after hearing about the heat and its challenges, he decided to do something about it.

And that's how the Calamity Fund came to be.

Jeff talked it over with his wife, and they came up with a plan together. They figured out a way to help those who were feeling the heat the most. It was simple, really—if you needed an air conditioning unit to beat the heat, the Fund would pitch in to help cover the cost.

The premise was simple yet profound: if a team member needed assistance acquiring an air conditioning unit to combat the heat, the Calamity Fund would step in. Jeff and his wife would contribute up to 50% towards the purchase, with a maximum reimbursement of $150. All it took was a purchase receipt and a gesture of trust.

But beyond just cooling down, the Calamity Fund embodies our commitment to being a unified team. It's about supporting each other through challenges, ensuring everyone's well-being, and fostering a culture of care and camaraderie.

By alleviating the heat, we're not just improving comfort; we're enhancing well-being and productivity, allowing our team to rest better and perform at their best. Because when we take care of each other, we all win.
