Lombok Earthquake Relief

As many of you may heard, the island of Lombok in Indonesia has been hit with two major earthquakes in the last week--the latter hitting a 6.9 magnitude--followed by sizable aftershocks. With many homes destroyed, thousands of people have been displaced and are lacking basic supplies. This has impacted my aunt, cousins, and my best friend's mother (the photo on the page is my cousin's house). They are the lucky ones; they have the resources to recover. But many in the smaller villages do not, and it's unclear if/when aid is forthcoming.

It's for this latter group that we're asking for donations. Often times when donating to a larger entity, you don't know where exactly your money is going. But in this case I can tell you: my cousin will be on the ground, personally traveling to more rural areas to provide food, clean water, and temporary shelters. He runs a car rental service in Lombok and Bali. With his team, he'll have the capability to reach many of the villages that were hit hardest.

If you want to help, please donate. Any amount is much appreciated--especially with the currency exchange, where a little goes a long way.

Thanks for considering--it means a lot to me!
