Lost everything at sea

Hi my name is russell and I’m trying to help out my best mate mark Cornell. As you all might know mark sold up everything and brought and old sailing boat , which over the last three years has loving restored the 52ft yatch escapee to its former glory.This was Marks only home and everything he owned was on it . With one crew onboard they finally set sail for the adventure of a life time to Indonesia ,unfortunately on Friday after leaving Cairns to travel to lizard island they ran into trouble when the engine failed in high seas , with 3 metre waves they were pushed onto Waining reef lizard island. After a 4 hour ordeal a` rescue chopper was sent but they had to abandon boat and we finally rescued by the coast guard with only the clothes on their backs .

I will post the full story shorty from mark but you can fully understand he is shell shocked, and now literally has lost everything expect the clothes on his back. Mark has been a great friend to many and desperately needs our help as the boat was not insured as no insurance company would take on a concrete hull .Please if you can any donations would be greatly appreciated to help mark back on his feet.
