The Scary Washing Machine continues to haunt Mike Whittaker:

For those of you who followed the ‘Scary Washing Machine‘ online auction earlier in the year, you may know that as well as making over $7500 for the 5 children’s charities, a small portion of the ongoing income after the auctions finished and separate to the auctions went towards paying for our honeymoon which we could not afford after we got married.

This was the honeymoon, in beautiful Samoa and we got to see the power of the REAL Scary Washing Machine up close and I can tell you now it’s much more scary than interplanetary portals and dinosaurs!

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!!

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.

Read the incredible full story at www.scarywashingmachine.com and bid on all that’s left from Mike’s honeymoon, a camera case rescued from the rubble of the tsunami aftermath.

As well as helping auction a souvenir from the REAL Scary Washing Machine, sella is also supporting the Oxfam Samoa Tsunami Appeal and the NZ Red Cross Samoa Tsunami Relief Fund on Givealittle.
