Hi, my name is 'Ana Valeti Latu Shanower. I was born in Tonga and now live in the US. My brother and his wife live in Nuku'alofa, Tonga. They are currently sheltering four families from the island of Ata'ata, a small island off the western coast of the main island, Tongatapu. The island of Ata'ata was completely devastated by the tsunami. My fundraising objective is to help them rebuild their lives and homes.

Here are some photos of the devastation on Ata'ata, and some of the families sheltering with my sister-in-law. These families have lost everything.

These are the best photos the family was able to provide. Communications with Tonga are slowly improving. I will have more and better photos soon, I hope! Thank you for considering this donation request. 'Ofa atu, malo aupito.
