| Dear Supporter, Imagine the terror and grief of losing your home, livelihood, friends and family, in a few utterly devastating minutes. Less than a week ago, this became the reality for those hit by the earthquake and tsunami that struck the coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
Now with houses destroyed and aftershocks continuing, thousands of families are struggling to survive with nowhere to live. |

| As you read this, we are planning to airlift family tents and Refugee Housing Units to shelter thousands of people, as this has been one area identified by the government to be a priority. We are working closely with authorities and partners to assess the help needed.
This earthquake and tsunami comes while disaster operations are still ongoing in Lombok, where over 340,000 people are still staying in camps after an earlier series of earthquakes. Thank you for anything you are able to give. Without your support, we will not be able to help all of these vulnerable families. We are determined that no one will have to face this disaster alone.
