Devastating Earthquakes in Indonesia: Please help families today! 
I am writing to you today with an update on the situation in Indonesia, where the island of Lombok has been struck with three major earthquakes in the past week.
On Sunday, a 6.9 Magnitude earthquake suddenly struck the island of Lombok in Indonesia killing nearly 100 people. At least 20,000 men, women and children have been left homeless and urgently need shelter.
This devastating quake happened just a week after a magnitude 6.4 earthquake killed 17 people. Early this morning, a third devastating earthquake hit the island destroying buildings that had already been weakened by the previous two earthquakes.
I have prepared a short background report which you may wish to take to your Rotary club, and you can download a copy from here.
A ShelterBox Team is Being Deployed
Today, ShelterBox has confirmed that we're deploying a team to further assess how we can help the most vulnerable families. Our team has been in contact with our Rotary partners on the ground since the first earthquake hit.
We have emergency shelter aid already stored in the area should our assistance be appropriate.
How You Can 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.
