Re: Fundraiser for OZ bushfire Victims.Win stuff, 5 watches+more
It's not so much a worthy cause, rather REAL life guys....
My sister-in-law lives in Whittlesea, just south of where the fire swept through last weekend fanned by 80-100K/PH winds. Luckily in the afternoon, the wind swung from a NW to a SE & although it missed most of her township, it did claim some of the homes on the outskirts.
The devastation & effect on survivors will be felt for years.
We know of families who've lost everything, not just homes, which can be re-built.
It was drummed into us again the other day with news of my 8yr old niece's friend from school who, along with her whole family had been confirmed to have perished in the inferno....
We have helped where we can, with clothing, support, food, time yet still feel utterly useless, never able to understand their circumstances. As tragic & sad as things are, the Australian people have come together & pledged a great deal, but every little bit helps.
So even if you can't donate, 'cos you really need that lume-job, or that strap is in need of replacing......send you prayers to the people affected by Black Saturday, a day never to be forgotten....
