Default Victoria bushfires

The worst ever bushfire trajedy is still going and help is needed. We can all dig deep and help these guys.
Whole familys have perised, parents have lost children and grand children, children have lost Mums and Dads, many more have lost all possessions. It sadens me every minute of the day, the trauma survivors and the dead would have gane through sickens me especially when there's claims the fires were deliberatly lit.
Over $10million has been raised australia wide already, but lets not let it stop there. Im broke at the moment but still found $100 for the cause...the bills can wait.
Death toll is now 173 and raising. Enough from me cant fight the tears.

It's certainly a tragedy and my thoughts are with all concerned; I have made a donation which may be a small amount but it all adds up.

My deepest thoughts and prayers to everyone in Australia at this horrendous time, an absolute tragedy and to think someone has done this intentionally is beyond belief. Would bring a tear to anyones eye

Take care all x

I have gained many friends from Australia through OP and my heart and prayers are with you as well. May the winds die down and the rains begin to help extinguish these fires. I hope your family and friends remain safe.

Here in Canberra the 2 major radio stations got their heads together and got a local shipping container company to donate 2 containers to fill with food, blankets, towels, nappys toys ect. The response was so huge the company ended up having to donate 8 more containers, which makes 10 full containers of essentials in a day and a half heading thier way.
The donation by the shipping company was huge. Basically had to stop all normal work for the day just to cope.
Good on them, true Aussie spirit

Wicko, the support is unbelievable from everyone, this morning listening to Melb 3AW melbourne radio, I heard a man calling from London wanting to help in anyway he could, and that made me think of op66 and everyone here...its a small world after all... and as a victorian I say thankyou.
