Hello everyone,
As I type this message, over 30 large bushfires are currently burning down the towns in the state of Victoria in Australia, which is also my home state. Over 170 people have died, many of which cannot even be identified due to impact of the fires. Along with the dead (which the toll is to rise), many more are missing and their families are completely worried sick. Furthermore, hundreds if not thousands of people have lost their homes, as the fire crept upon during the night as well.

You can help these people by donating to the two major charity appeals, please click on the links below if you consider donating!
Thanks for reading, and thank you for visiting the site.

Hei said:I didn’t know about this, I’m so sorry. It’s always sad when these kind of things happen; there was an earthquake in my country not too long ago that also killed many people. But we can bring the good side of this, let’s get together and donate!!!
And let me just say that I really respect you for posting this.

I had no idea that the support for these poor people was global.
Even small donations are something, some of these people have nothing.
