BlankA small message of thanks to all those wonderful brave people trying to put the fires out and those who are helping in every and any way they can to assist those in need. The horror is unimaginable to those of us not affected and it just breaks your heart seeing the the devastation and misery. Think of the poor darling animals dead or suffering - it's just so appalling. Please everyone, if you can, donate to the Red Cross. It's difficult to get through at the moment but keep trying or go to their web site and donate what you can. Even $2.00 will help fill up the kitty. Marcelle Western Australia

Just been informed. My dear friend, Grand-daughter, lost everything, in the Kinglake fires. She had only brought the house. The silly, silly girl did not have insurance. Now she has nothing. Have offered the use of our caravan. As I don't have the money to give. Now waiting for a reply. Seems HELL did arrive.
