My thoughts and best wishes are with all those who have been directly affected by this local tradgedy. I cannot bear to imagine the pain and suffering everyone is going through whether you have lost your home, your loved ones or even close family,friends or pets. To the volunteers who selflessly donate their time to aid their unknown neighbours a huge a unforgettable thankyou goes out to you all. You are all nothing but heroes. To those of you who are yet to rebuild your lives from scratch please hold on to the hope that it can happen, it will take time but Im sure with the aid of most fellow australians we will all rally together to help each other through. To all of us who are left feeling helpless please donate some of your time. Instead of staying home to do the housework volunteer at an organistation for a day. Instead of buying a birthday present donate the money to charity. If you have a spare acre or two offer to house an animal for someone. If you have spare accomodation pleae offfer that. Together we can all make a differnce. To all the businesses that have fireman and volunteers employed please show your compassion by at least allowing your employees the time off without being penalised. This enables the resources to be there during the week when it may be mostly needed.
