'HELP FAMILIES ININDONESIA'Leaving no family without shelter On Friday 28 September, the people of Sulawesi looked on in horror as giant waves crashed onto their shores. First the island was hit by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. Then a tsunami tore through the region, flattening everything in its path and turning thousands of homes to rubble. Families have been left devastated as they struggle with the catastrophic aftermath. Thousands are still searching for lost family members, whilst also enduring landslides and power outages. The disaster has caused the displacement of around 42,000 people and the death of over 1,500, and these numbers are expected to rise. We’re sending a response team to understand how we can help Sulawesi families who have lost everything. But our resources are limited after an unprecedented stream of disasters this year. We rely on our incredible supporters to fund our vital work providing shelter in times of disaster. We’re impatient to respond – wherever we’re needed in the world – but we need your help. So, How Can You Help? Any donation you are able to give will help families who have been affected by natural disasters and conflict. For families who have lost everything and have experienced terrifying disasters, your gift of shelter and supplies provides hope and the ability to start rebuilding. Thank you so much for your continued support, and for believing that no family should be left without shelter. Gabriela Gabriela Hrutkaiova Fundraising Manager ShelterBox New Zealand |
