Emergency House Repair

Please help us build a new kitchen for Ucok's Mom before it collapses!



G
Rainy season is coming soon to Sumatra where my husband, Ucok's family still lives in a tiny primitive village. 36 years ago Ucok's father built this house with his own two hands. Eight years ago he passed away suddenly and his Mom was left to take care of things alone.
The back room pictured is the primitive kitchen. It is about to collapse and rainy season is coming soon so it will surely wash away. Ucok's Mom earns very little money as a rice farmer and cannot afford to fix it. (That's his mom pictured sitting in the back door of the kitchen.)
We have plans to fix up the rest of the house for her but first we are worried about getting the kitchen replaced before it collapses. Due to the time constraint we know we have no way of coming up with the money ourselves in time. We figure $4000 will be enough to ensure it won't collapse and rebuild the kitchen. The rest of the house we will do over time.
Ucok hates to ask for anything he deems as charity but I was able to convince him that his Mom's safety was more important. 
Anything you could spare would be greatly appreciated. No amount is too small. We would like to get this started within a month if possible. Rainy season starts mid- late November,
In addition, for anyone donating $100+ I will do and send you a customized 6x9" acrylic painting to say Thank You!
