Ashish Sharma: 我重返瓦伦西亚,旨在调查在极端暴雨引发的洪灾后,该地区的复苏情况。尽管部分企业已成功恢复,但众多小型家族企业仍在困境中挣扎,不得不寻求众筹以维持运营。保险公司应对迟缓,政府援助未能及时到位,使得这些企业面临严峻的财务挑战。 Emi Boisch: 作为IMAC的CEO和家族企业协会的主席,我深切体会到洪灾对企业造成的冲击。IMAC虽然通过自身努力和少量援助得以恢复,但许多小型企业面临保险赔偿不到位的问题。保险公司的不作为加剧了他们的困境,许多企业难以获得应有的资金支持。 David Obrer: 我们的家族企业以生产烟斗为生,但洪灾摧毁了我们的机器设备,导致我们投保不足。尽管我们已扎根当地一个多世纪,但缺乏足够的资金支持使我们难以重建。我们亟需保险赔偿和政府援助,以恢复生产并继续为社区提供就业机会。 Marta Chico: 洪灾过后,我亲眼目睹了许多家庭企业面临的困境。我的叔叔因保险问题而被迫放弃事业,这让我深感痛心。尽管政府承诺提供帮助,但实际援助却迟迟未能到位。因此,我们不得不发起众筹,以帮助那些无法获得足够支持的企业和家庭。 Naira Servan: 我在一家受洪灾影响的幼儿园工作。由于学校无法正常运营,我们面临失业的风险。虽然政府承诺提供失业救济金,但实际金额却远低于我们的正常工资水平。我们迫切希望学校能够尽快重建,以便我们能够重返工作岗位,恢复正常生活。 Bindi Abbasandani: 为了帮助受洪灾影响的企业,我们协会发起了慈善晚宴活动,筹集了大量资金。我们旨在为那些员工人数少、收入低的小型企业提供经济支持,帮助他们重新开业。我们相信,通过各方共同努力,我们可以帮助瓦伦西亚地区实现经济复苏。
