These last couple of weeks I’ve been deeply moved by the incredible solidarity and compassion of our General Motors family during the terrible floods that have affected millions of people in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, home of one of our GM plants and of thousands of our employees, suppliers, and dealers. Led by local corporate giving Instituto General Motors, our people have volunteered their time, loaned GM vehicles to aid rescue efforts, and put together the biggest fund-raising initiative we’ve ever had in the country, with R$1 million donated to local nonprofits. Our team in North America and around the world has also contributed with donations, and OnStar is enabling Emergency Services and in-vehicle Wi-Fi free of charge for all our customers in the region - so they can stay connected and safe on the roads. To our GM family: thank you for everything you have done. This very much needed help is already being directed to those who need it most. But more support is still needed. If are not a part of the GM team and would like to join our efforts, I encourage you to consider donating through the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (link in the comments section). #IworkforGM
On this very difficult moments we can realize how strong is our team and how the solidarity from our people can change a difficult situation. I am proud to be part of General Motors team. #RioGrandedoSul #IworkforGM
