When your country needs help...

Posted by sherockachild22 - February 16th, 2009


Okay, so i'm pretty dumb founded for a poem on this... surely after i have posted it i will think of one.
But in some of the smaller towns around the Victoria area have been destroyed by the terrorizing fires which have swept through destroying everything in their paths.

Family's have been given the choice of either running away leaving their home behind, or to stay and defend their homes to the best of their ability.

So far there have been 189 lives lost to these devastating fires, and the toll is expected to keep rising. The gruesome reality of the search through the homes of many people has become clearer to the police, as they admit that it is difficult to identify whether the remains come from one person, or if its even a human.

Family's have been seperated... Fearing the worst for their loved ones.

Calm weather on Monday again helped firefighters put in containment lines around the five fires still burning in Victoria.

Donations to the Australian Red Cross for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009 would be gratefully accepted by the victims of the Victorian bushfires.
Donations can be made here:

The school i attend had a "non uniform" day with gold coin donation (any amount really) to help raise money for the Appeal... With a little less than 400 students we managed to raise over $1000. This isn't an enormous amount but every little bit counts for these people.

Its not only the humans that are being put out, but also the animals;
Our land is and has been under the conflicts of water and fire.

[another news brief, North Queensland is currently in need of help with the floods... Which has closed the roads, which in turn stopped a percentage of food getting to the towns affected by the floods...
But thats another story.]

dig a moat, that'll stop the fire

The fire is still there, burning at a very fast speed... winds have been helping it to travel, yadda yadda yadda.

But even from the ashes...new life can emerge.

Good Job.

Yes, but the loved ones that have been lost wont come back from those ashes.

Thanks.

How horrible... i feel so bad for all those people who lost their family and friend. I made a little donation, hope it'll help out a little
