Lombok Earthquake
Several of my Indonesian friends have lost their homes and are in desperate need of aid.

As most of you my know, a massive 6.9 earthquake hit Lombok, Indonesia on the 5th August 2018. A second devastating quake hit the North coast of Lombok island which, with subsequent tremors, inflicted significant loss of lives and destruction.
In the region, tens of thousands of houses have been flattened to the ground, and most standing buildings are severely damaged. Over 150,000 survivors are homeless and have taken refuge in camps, where they lack water and food. Electricity, water, and most essential services are no longer available in most affected areas.
The death toll is now reported to have reached over 350 people, and at least 2,500 have been severely injured. The hospitals have been overwhelmed, and part of the Tanjung hospital has collapsed.

I lived and worked in Lombok in 2015. I have close Indonesian friends in Lombok that have lost their homes during the recent earthquake. I would like to help them out by raising some funds to assist them in the rebuild.
Use of funds
The funding will go towards:
Drinking water
Rice, instant noodles, canned food
Blankets
Other essential supplies
and later, if funds allow, cement for basic reconstruction
