Help: Australian Bushfire Emergency

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 8, 2009, 11:53 AM



What if you woke up to see this in the morning, instead of a smiling sun.


If you haven't heard already..
the Victoria Bushfires have taken many lives and destroyed hundreds of homes, possibly the worst Australian bushfires to date.
"Almost 100 people have died in the horrific blazes, which continue to rage throughout the state.

The latest confirmed total has been revised down from 96 to 93, however the number is expected to rise throughout the day."

What can you do?
What would you do if you were in the same situation? You couldn't go back to your home, and find your belongings just the way you left them. Your home wouldn't even be "your home" anymore. The many people who have been affected by these horrible fires need to start their lives over, and they need money to do that.

Please
consider donating to the Bushfire victims.

Call 1800-811-700 (Australia)
or donate to the
Red Cross
or
Salvation Army

Coming from a place where fires happen regularly, I know that that's a scary situation. I hope that things work out for them, and if I had money to send, I would. :(

Hahaha, least you don't get the ashes. Our windows stay permanently closed for weeks at a time when the fires get going, there's always ashes raining...

I plan to. ^^

There's speculation the fires were deliberately lit.

I hope the son of a bitch gets what's coming for him.

It's also my solemn duty to inform that the death toll is confirmed at 111, with more feared dead. :tears:
