The first goal is to help my husband Charlys mother build a new house. Then to distribute any leftover money among Pandanan as needed!

On the 8th of August a terrifyingly strong earthquake struck North Lombok. At the time I was staying in my husbands village of Pandanan we were in the room with our 6 month old and 2 year old. We had just enough time to get out before his mothers house collapsed in rubble! Everything fell down around us we had just enough time to get up the hill where we spent the night crying praying in terror as more aftershocks hit! The next morning it was clear the village was destroyed! All around North Lombok the destruction is everywhere. The people here are poor but what they have they share! Life goes on and people are still smiling but living in makeshift shelters. Whatever you can spare even if its just 1 dollar it can help these people get by. I am on my way home to Nz with my babies ...traumatised! The people living there are too yet they cannot leave and government assistance qho knows if any will come?
I was in Pandanan village during major earthquake. My husbands village is destroyed. I want to help them

Charlys Mum's House 9 September 2018
Hi guys! Just wanted to share this. Thanks to everybody's generous donations I have sent the money off and work has begun on Charlys Mum's house. Charly has told me Inaq (Sasak for mother) is sooooo happy! For a lady who doesn't have much and watched everything she held so dear fall to the ground around her this is amazing! Hers is the only house in the village that is starting to be rebuilt! We are hoping in one month this can be finished! Feel-good! I have been told this home is going to be really beautiful too! Such a wonderful thing to do from absolutely wonderful people xxx
