Mourant du Feu & Jeune has donated US$30,000 to the Cayman Islands National Recovery Fund (NRF).

A media release from the company stated that the funds were raised through a combination of staff pledges from the Cayman Islands office, the law firm’s charitable donations programme and charitable trust money.

The Cayman Islands National Recovery Fund will use the funds to repair buildings and replace furniture, appliances and equipment in people’s homes, with special emphasis placed on meeting the needs of children and the elderly, in Cayman Brac where there was devastation from Hurricane Paloma in November 2008.

Neal Lomax, Partner and Head of the Cayman Islands office of Mourant du Feu & Jeune, said, “This is a cause that is particularly close to the hearts of all our staff in the Cayman Islands and they were eager to contribute in any way they could. Grand Cayman was incredibly lucky to have been spared, but we know only too well the damage a hurricane can cause so we are delighted to be able to assist with the recovery programme for Cayman Brac.”

The NRF is a private independent trust, established in September 2004, to help people who were affected by Hurricane Ivan. It has since been used to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Paloma.
