My name is Ashlee, and this is my first GoFundMe. The earthquake in Nepal last year desvastated the country. People lost their lives, homes, families, and the community was permanently altered (many sacred temples are now lost forever). The fuel blockade from India was and is in full affect, challenging any relief or rebuilding efforts. There are still thousands of people (A YEAR LATER) still living in makeshift tents. They need our help, and I want to help them. I have decided to volunteer for the Fuller Center to spend 2 weeks in October rebuilding houses for the survivors. The typical house costs around $4,000 to build. 100% of the houses built by the Fuller Center prior to the earthquake have survived. The houses will be hand-built, in the community side-by-side with the families using reinforced rebar and concrete. I want to be able to help them rebuild, and I need help to do so! Even though this is a volunteer trip, expenses are needed to supply the worksites. Every donation is greatly appreciated, and to know that by donating you are directly helping families in need. Any extra money raised above my goal will be donated to the Fuller Center and applied directly to this trip to help those in need. Please help me get to Nepal so I can give them the much needed help they so desperately are in need of!
