Before anyone goes and flags this post. I would like to put a disclaimer that I have had communication with Wayne on this subject and cleared with him first. He gave me the all clear.
After receiving a few emails and with a suggestion on my last blog about I am posting here the links to two charities that are running an appeal to help with the victims of the bushfires.
I am not going to beg as it is up to the individual if you want to help. But I know how some people may want to help.
So if you would like to donate you could click on either one of the charities list below.
Salvation Army
For International Residents scroll down to the bottom of the page for the link to the international Headquaters. Once there and you have filled out the deatials. Where is asks for specifics, just type in "Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009"
Or
Red Cross
If you choose to donate via the red cross please click on the Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009
The red cross link is for both Non/Australian residents.
Statistics So Far
- 130 people have been confirmed dead.
- 750 dwellings have been burnt to the ground, from houses, shops, schools, police stations, fire stations etc.
- Interstate fire-personal from Tasmania, New South Wales and Canberra have now joined in the effort to save our state.
- The Army has also been enlisted to help.
- Firemen from Canada, USA, New Zealand and Germany have arrived to help with the effort.
And to any one who does donate thank you so much
