Hi Mark, Stewart Allen here, photographer with Longbreak magazine. Very sorry to hear your news, but grateful that no one at Macas was injured or worse. If you remember, I work at the Sunday Times newspaper in Perth. I'm wondering if a story on your situation might help raise some relief funds ? Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Best wishes. Stew.

Mark, Thank God for the 3 story round structure. As a builder for 40 yrs. I sat their this summer with my family and thought that was the one structure that might make it besides the block stuctures. When I saw Lee'a and Nova in the video I was in tears. Anything I can ever do, let me know. My family Janet, Ben and Joel send there Love. Rick p.S. would love to help with some of the rebuilding. Moving from our ranch in Calif. to Kauai next month, so we would be closer.

Tony Harrington told me about all the work you had done at Macaronis - so sad to hear of the devastation. Hope this little something helps with the effort to get you all back on your feet.

Good luck Hope this helps Adrian Crane

Locky, Every little bit helps, thinking of you and the villages, I have no doubt you will get back on your feet and I will be able to bring Kel and Meg there one day, oh and the new one that's in the oven... Sao Mao Gao

just for a few basics, be there as soon as you need hands. I know you're still spinning, so I'm not going to come until you say jump. I am not without plans, but they went out the window and I'm just on hold til you say so, OK? I got tons of fishing gear and all kinds of accessories to donate too, so I have been on the phone with airlines and I'm all sorted as soon as I get the dates...Aloha and Bless you, Chuckles.

So sad to see the resort destroyed. But most importantly, everyone is safe. I know my donation is not that much but hope it helps out some.

Hope the smile come back soon...

Hope this little bit helps Donated by the Eghardt Brand Foundation and Hayley Brand

Hi Mark Met you many years ago..Lynn Hutch's sister, Mother of Josh and Auntie of Jess, and most of all Auntie to James. Thank God that everyone is safe, considering what happened.Good Luck in rebuilding and hope all is well with you. Regards Kaylene

I hope everyone is fine and everything returns to be the same thing. Un abrazo fuerte!!!

Hi Mark, here is some money to help you, the staff and villagers in any way it can, im really saddened to hear about such a tragedy in such a beautiful place full of such wonderful people, take care mate and i hope to see macaronis resort up and running again because my stay there was by far the best holiday i have had in my life and im sure anyone who has been there will say the same,

Hope everyone is safe and well.

Here is $50 to help out ... $30 more than to anchor there when I surfed there in 2006 ... Carrick elected not to stop because of the anchor fee to the locals? I was bummed because of it ... Bruce and Andy were there, and I was thinking about that today with Andy's passing ... then came across the story of the damage you suffered. Sounds like the resort was a lifeline for those who needed it the most. God bless you and this donation. Aloha, Joe from Okinawa
