A special fund is helping Pulse employees pay the bills while the nightclub remains closed following the attack on June 12.
- Pulse of Orlando fund for club employees
- Meant to help supplement income until the club reopens
Pulse workers went to The Abbey Thursday afternoon to get financial help from Pulse of Orlando, a non-profit fund set up just for those workers.
Pulse's owner says the club will reopen someday, but he's not sure when.
A recent fundraiser in Thornton Park called "Latin Night" helped fund the Pulse of Orlando fund.
It's the first fund that's been able to distribute money directly to Pulse employees.
Pulse dancer Terry Streeter, Jr. was inside Pulse when shots rang out. He’s now looking for another job.
He says the financial help is much needed, and appreciated.
“Anybody who’s donated, it really means the world to everybody in the community,” Streeter said.
Gathering for the financial assistance also gave Pulse employees a chance to reunite.
“It’s been like a healing process, and shows nothing is going to stop us,” said Reginald Hawkins.
