Australia Wildfires


My heart goes out to all of those affected by and lost in the Victoria wildfires. It's easy to feel small and helpless at times like this, but no matter where you are, you can make donations at the Australian Red Cross website.

I'm a Victorian reader.... and finding this post really touched me. It's hard to describe the loss everyone is feeling here... but there is so much love being shown in the midst of it all. All your thoughts, prayers, and support is appreciated!

Thankyou for the post Kathryn.

Please donate- it makes such a difference (even if it is small compared to what has been lost)

Thank you for posting this. I just finished donating to the Australian Red Cross. It was fast and easy, and the minimum donation was only $5...I only hope that we can all take 2 minutes out of our time to help support our friends in Australia. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Laura, and your fellow Victorians.

As an Australian blogger and someone whose home has been under threat from fires in Sydney on numerous occasions, your well wishes and donations will be much appreciate by all Victorians. It is devestating and the loss has not even been fully evaluated yet.

Even the smallest donation makes a big difference.

Another Aussie reader here, thrilled to a touching post written from over the seas. Our fires always seem to follow the LA fires, a tragic loss for all involved.
