Were you aware that the victims and survivors of the current floods in Northern Qld are among the many Aussies donating whatever money and supplies they have to survivors of the Victorian Bushfires? These people themselves have lost everything and they are still giving.
We have amazing people here in this country and I am proud to call myself Australian. With the exception of a few freaks (fraudulently collecting money) I consider myself fortunate to be born in this country and surrounded by so many people who just want to help when times are bad.
I can only imagine how terrifying a Firestorm or massive Flash Flood would be and I struggle to find words to express how much I feel for them and want to help.
So I ask you - if you can help please do.
HERE'S HOW:
Donate money directly to Red Cross
Shop on the Woolworths/Safeway - Coles 'donate the profits'days
If you don't have money:
Donate Blood and Plasma for the burn victims
Donate clothes, blankets, toys, food etc at a local drop point to be sent to the people who need it most.
There is a community of crafters (mostly with blogs, etsy stores and eBay stores) who have united and under the guidance of Cindy from Bug and Pop and Pip from Meet Me at Mikes are fundraising for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal governed by The Australian Red Cross
There is a website/blog set up called Handmade Help with stacks of information on how to help, how to participate and how to buy.

I will be running sales from my etsy and eBay stores to raise money for The Australian Red Cross.
All proceeds from these sales will go to Red Cross. Postage on theses selected items in Australia will be free. International sales will have a minimal postage cost.
Items for fundraising will have the title HANDMADE HELP - and then a listing description
