Help needed for Lombok Earthquake

At 7.36pm 05th August 18 Mother Earth opened herself up to Lombok, Indonesia, with a massive 7.0 Earthquake.

9th August at 2pm, Lombok was hit by another massive 6.2 Earthquake. The ground hasn't stopped moving in 4 days, giving no rest to anyone. 

Lombok has had over 300 quakes in the last 4 days, we are in a CRISIS!!

The death toll is 381 and counting, over 1400 injured, and over 200,000 with no homes, no water, no food and in urgent need of medical supplies.

My friends have lost their loved ones, their homes, and need your HELP. The earth has been trembling non stop giving them no rest.  

As I have been living in Gili Air, Lombok for the past 7 months, these people are my family, my brothers and my sisters, they have welcomed me into their homes with open arms, invited me their families.

They have lost their loved ones, and their homes! 

I am safe in Bali, focusing my time raising money and liasing with friends and organisations on the ground in Lombok who are filling trucks  with Emergency Supplies such as food, water, blankets, tents etc. 

They are delivering these supplies to those who are in urgent need. 

I have been liasing with friends Belinda and Reza , who have been dedicating their time to send trucks to those in urgent need. With these donations I have transfered money into their account and with their help we have been able to send a truck of supplies to my friend Ending up North. 

This morning we managed to get a truck of supplies such as rice, water, eggs, baby formula and tarpolines to 1,500 people,  camling in a forest in North Lombok who have been without for 5 days. 

A truck of emergency supplies reached 1,500 people camped out in a forest in North Lombok. Photo is of Ahmet delivering supplies to Ending. 

One of my good friends Tamlyn is on the ground in Lombok now, so have been sending funds via bank transfer to Tamlyn to use towards these supplies. 

My close friends Jimmi, Artha and Ozzy have all lost their homes, I have been able to send money via bank transfer to Artha and Ozzy, who have purchased food and water for their camps, and Tamlyn has used these funds to give cash to Jimmi and his camp.

All donations are used to purchase emergency supplies such as water, food, blankets, and shelter, to help rebuild the lives and homes of friends who have lost their homes in this tragic time. 

As I will be back on the ground in Lombok on the 18th August, I will use funds to purchase emergency supplies for those friends so badly affected in this quake, and deliver them myself with the help of friends. 

All funds are being withdrawn into my personal account from Go Fund Me. 

Please keep Lombok and the Gili Islands in your heart, in your prayers and in your thoughts. 

With love to you all, from Indonesia.
