posted on by Karen Ressler
Houston-based company Sentai Filmworks launched a GoFundMe campaign on Friday to assist its staff members following Hurricane Harvey. All donations will go to employees whose homes have been damaged or lost as a result of the hurricane.
The company's message is as follows:
Dear Anime Community,Hurricane Harvey has wreaked devastation on our beloved Houston and adversely affected numerous Sentai employees. Many have been left homeless, car-less, or have been displaced seeking refuge elsewhere.
Please help us get our Sentai Team back on its feet and raise $500,000 to assist our employees and their families in this time of need. 100% of donations will go directly to affected employees. No donation is too small!
Please help spread the word to friends, family, and colleagues via text, email, or social media.
All Our Best,
Sentai Filmworks
Sentai Filmworks previously confirmed that its staff members and their families are safe. Its parent company Section23 Films confirmed that its offices are unharmed and it is still fulfilling orders, as its warehouse is not located in Houston.
The category 4 hurricane made landfall in southeastern Texas last Friday evening. The storm has led to severe flooding and damage in some areas, including Houston. FUNimation Entertainment, which is based in Northern Texas, is also holding a relief campaign where it is matching donations to charities.
