I have been a Michaels employee in New Lenox Illinois for almost 2 years. I contacted Human resources because I recently lost my brother and stepfather to Covid 19. I support all the fundraisers and anything that Michaels have to support others in need. But when I inquired about help to bury my brother, I was told by human resources that Michaels Cares do not support brothers. I always thought immediate family consist of siblings. so in the future I will not support anything that will not support me. The bad part is another employee that has been there for years told me to inquire, because they helped him bury his mom. so when I mentioned what happened, all he could say is something isnt right with that. Human resources pick and choice who they would like to help. its sad....
Thank you to Michaels Cares! I recently lost my son (32 years old), and April at Michaels helped with the process, and is a wonderful person . I am so thankful to her, and Michaels Cares for helping lay my son to rest. Thank you also, to my store manager at Store #2723 for helping with the paperwork and for the emotional support of Dawn, Marijane, and all of my Michaels family. Michaels is a family place, which I am proud to be a part of.

Review from Guidestar
My name is Christine and i work in the best Michaels store in the Aventura Florida location.
When I told my GM how my mom and I made it through Hurricane Irma, and what happened at my home and kowing how sick my mom is, Michaels Cares reached out and helped.
Words can not say or express my deepest heart felt thanks for your help.
Its a great program and everyone should get involved.
And again...with all my heart, thank you.
This charity is an incredible example of a company looking out for others. I highly recommend this charity to anyone working for Michaels or the family members of said individuals. The charity is very transparent, and cross-referencing their financials doesn't lead to any surprises. I think what they do is incredible, and I have personally helped raise funds to help other associates in need.
