Help family rebuild home after earthquake

Donation protected
I am raising money to help my uncle Milivoj and his family rebuild their home and lives after several strong earthquakes hit Croatia in the past few weeks. The house that he lived in with his wife Ana and son Boris, is no longer livable as the earthquakes have destroyed majority of the roof, foundation and bearing walls. They are farmers and all the buildings where the cattle was kept have been severely damaged as well. They were forced to sell some of the cattle as they had no safe place to shelter them from the winter and they needed money to survive. While the Croatian government is doing everything in their power to help all the people affected by the earthquake, there is no guarantee that there will be enough funds to help all the people and almost certain that the government would not be in the position to replace/rebuild the destroyed homes as they were originally build. 
In the mean time, Milivoj and his family have received a container to live in (pictured below), that does not have running water, electricity nor the toilet. They have been using the toilet located in the destroyed house with the fear of remained of the house collapsing every time they walk in. 
This is the family that have survived 2 civil wars in 1991 & 1995. After the wars, they came to Chicago to start all over from zero and after several years in the United States, they have decided to return back to Croatia and their roots.  They have been living a simple life being farmers and now they will have to start again from the beginning. 
I am hoping to raise $1,500 to help them in rebuilding their home and to get back to normal life as soon as possible. Please donate, even if it is $5, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all.
