Many of Mount Auburn’s employees were directly
impacted by two back-to-back hurricanes that
devastated Puerto Rico in the Fall of 2017. To
support the massive clean-up and first aid efforts
following Hurricane Maria, Mount Auburn
Cemetery donated $5,000 to the “Massachusetts
United for Puerto Rico Fund.” Wanting to further
help the families of its colleagues, Mount Auburn
staff took an additional step and created a private
GoFundMe site for the collection of funds to assist
employees directly impacted by the hurricane. The
staff-driven effort raised $10,250, which was divided
among twelve employees for the rebuilding their own
homes or the homes of their family members.
