Lombok earthquakes- rebuild
Donation protected
I employ 14 people from Lombok for my constructions, most of which have become like family through this experience. I have visited Lombok and their homes and families over the last few months.
The regular wages are from $8-$10 per day. They are not well off people but they are employed for which they are thankful. They all have sustained damages to their homes in Lombok after 2 strong earthquakes, where they have left wives and children.
One has lost his entire kitchen which feeds many of the people from his village. Others have lost bedrooms, roofs, doors and the list goes on.
I have given as much as I can but I am seeking financial help as I so wish to help them but I am limited as so many people are in need.
If you are able to help, I would make sure that it directly goes to the building materials they need and since they are all builders, there is no labor costs. We just need materials to rebuild everyone’s homes. I am overseeing their reconstruction and rest assured that we are looking for the best prices when we shop around for materials.
Anything would help. I am looking for $2700 to help 14 families. I wish I could help more people but have to pick the closest to me and the ones I can directly help.
Thanks so much.
