Vets coming to help the animals as well as feed for them. So many heroes as well as heartbreaking stories of lost families etc. Guess you have seen the firie who gave water to the koala...& the koala, named Sam, reached out & put her paw in his hand. Really heart renching! Chris in Adelaide

I've just been watching 'Tonight' on ITV, One man had lost his wife, his two boys, his home, his business. He almost lost his own life. He was found several hours later burned and unconscious on the side of the road. He had gone to get the car to get his family out of there. How the hell do you recover from that? Where do you begin helping them?

Member Since: May 2005 Posts: 8,501 Send Message	HI Teresa Thank you so much for putting this thread up. I have contacted the Red Cross and sent in my donation. LIke Sue Maid said they send a reciept by email and keep you up to date on what they are achieving. This morning here in Oz there had been over $30 Million Dollars donated so far. People are really digging deep into their pockets and their hearts to help these poor people left homeless. One volunteer this morning was sat sewing little material bags for the small wild animals that they have found. To keep them warm and safe. So even those that find they can't donate Money wise there are volunteers helping in some other way. You are all wonderful and although I am of English Birth it makes me proud to say I am an Aussie when I see such generousity Over 1000 Homes now lost and 181 people lost their lives. Still rising too as 80 people are still missing Can I just say a BIG thank you to all those that have donated and taken this cause to heart. Teresa and GR thank you so much too KIndest Regards Jackie in Western Australia
