My Indonesian family need help

Donation protected
My Indonesian family run a small homestay on a beach on one of the Togean Islands, off Sulawesi, Indonesia. These islands are beautiful, natural and largely unspoilt by tourism. My family have lived there all their lives, living off traditional spearfishing and the income from their small homestay. They have been running the homestay for over twenty years, renting out basic traditional accommodation with traditional food which gives visitors an insight into how life has been on the island for many years. Unfortunately there has been conflict with a much larger and more modern resort. To ensure my family can keep their land and homestay and to ensure that the island will keep its authenticity my family will need to take them to court. The estimated cost of this is around €4500. My family just don’t have that sort of money. They earn just enough money to live. As you can imagine, the worries of them losing their livelihood and home is enormous. Can you please help us with a donation towards the cost of the court case? They would like to pay back any donations but they may well not be able to.
