17 months ago my family and I experienced the devastating Nepal earthquakes first-hand. The minutes of shaking were some of the most anxious moments of my life.

I'll never forget the overwhelming relief of getting out of the building safely with my family, mixed with a heavy heart in the knowledge that thousands would not be so lucky and that millions would be left homeless.

Fast forward a year and was back in Nepal last May to see how INF has supported rural communities to re-build their lives. I met a teenage girl who had been badly burned and her story was heart-breaking. Since the quake destroyed her house she and her dad have been living, cooking and sleeping in their tiny cow shed. While her dad was out in the fields, she had an epileptic fit and fell in the fire suffering horrendous burns. Its an example of how people with disabilities often face additional hardships and suffering following natural disasters.

INF has a special project to help people with disabilities affected by the quake to re-build their lives and their homes. I've set an ambitious target of raising £1900 which is the cost of re-building a house in Nepal. I invite you to join me in bringing shelter, security, hope and a new start for a person with disability in Nepal and their family. Any donation, large or small will be hugely appreciated.

Thank you!
