Good Deed Opportunity: Scary Washing Machine Guy Asks For Your support of the Lalumanu Beach Community Relief Fund

Submitted by on October 10, 2009 – 9:19 am

Support the Lalumanu Beach Community Relief Fund

Scary Washing Machine is back, this time he needs your help to raise money for the Lalumanu community in Upolo in Samoa who were badly hit by the Tsunami on the 29th of September 2009.
Hi, I’m the creator of Scary Washing machine and I was in Samoa at Lalumanu when the Tsumani came in and I saw the horror, carnage and shocking tragedy that it inflicted on so many people first hand.
Believe it or not this was the honeymoon that some post-auction Scary Washing Machine proceeds helped to pay for! I might have sold that evil machine but he’s still trying to get me!!
There were no inter-dimensional portals or dinosaurs this time but I think we got a pretty good look at the REAL scary washing machine and I can tell you it’s a lot more scary than a dinosaur!
My wife and I both survived by the seat of our pants but many other people were not as fortunate and many of them lost their lives and loved ones to the sea.
The Taufua family from Lalumanu have over 20 extended family members either dead or unaccounted for and we want to help them out by raising money to help them get back on their feet and get through this horrible tragedy.
They have virtually nothing left, the whole of the Lalumanu beach community is destroyed and turned to rubble and I was there while the family members retrieved their loved one’s bodies from the piles of rubble that were once their homes.
I have opened a bank account and will take donations for the next 14 days, Tina De Suza a close friend of the family has gone to Samoa to be with them and help rebuild and she will pass any money we can raise on directly to the family in person so you can be assured that every last cent of your money will reach where it’s needed.
She is listed on the Taufua Beach Fales website as the official aid person in NZ for the family.
These people deserve all the help they can get, the are a beautiful family and always treat visitors and travelers with a warmth as if they are part of the family.
If you can spare any money at all, even 5 or 10 bucks, please dip into your pockets to help the family.
You can deposit into the following account:
M J Whittaker
Lalumanu Relief
ASB
12 3052 0188504 50
You can do so anonymously or if you wish to include a note, prayer or blessing for the family or awknowledgement of your donation the email address [email protected] is open and everything will be passed on.
Remember to leave a reference common to the donation in your message so I know who’s is who’s.
Please please let scary do another good deed and send some money.
Your generosity will be hugely appreciated.
Regards,
Mike, Zana & Scary.
