Last Sunday, Sept. 10, Storm Daniel hit one of Libya’s beautiful coastal cities, famous for its turquoise sea and beautiful valley, Derna. In this city lives my girlfriend, Lulla, with her family. When Storm Daniel hit Derna, two major dams collapsed, which led to a horrific flood rushing through the valley toward the heart of the city. It was apocalyptic.

The death toll as of Sept. 14 has reached 11,300. The impact is huge for a city of just 100,000 people. Miraculously, Lulla and her family survived. However, they lost everything, their home, their family-owned business, and many relatives, close friends, and neighbors. A beloved teacher, Lulla has inspired many young men and women that she taught in high school. She doesn't even know how many of them are alive.

Right now, as you would expect, Lulla and her family are going through a lot. They need a lot of support, including financial support. Anything you can donate would be appreciated.

For the next 6 months, Lulla’s family (4 people) will need assistance with the following:

Food

Clean drinking water

Hygiene and sanitation supplies

Clothing

Rent

Transportation

Basic household goods

Healthcare

To begin rebuilding their lives, Lulla’s family will need of $12,000.

We are asking that you consider a donation of $50, $100, $200 or more.

We are grateful for your help. Every contribution helps.
