Malo All,

As many of you may be aware Tonga was struck with a tsunami on the 15th January 2021 as a result of the under water Hunga Tonga volcano erupting.

God willing all but one of our family members are safe but are now of many families left without a home.

My family’s beautiful small island Mango (Ha’api) with a population of less than 60 suffered catastrophic damage; taking homes, belongings, live stock, crops, everything right down to their cemetery.

We are hoping to raise funds to assist in the shipping costs of sending our own container full of donated non perishable food and non monetary donations to the people of Tonga.

We are aware many families will be in need at this time so appreciate any and all help.

I have attached raw images of the children and families you will be helping and whom will benefit from these funds. The images also show what the individuals endured during the time they awaited being taken to warmth and safety on the main island.

Malo ‘Aupito and God bless.

We are aiming for all families from the island of mango to benefit from these funds. The island has a population of less than 60 and we are wanting to help them all with the clothing , bedding and food we have received in donations for them.

Use of funds

Food shopping, water supplies, shipping fees for the container and items donated and building of shelter to get our family out of tents and into something more sturdy.
