"And this one is just right" ~ Goldilocks
I'm in the middle of a rebuild and so have been in touch with @Neville Lush these past weeks. I thought many of you would want to know that the fires in Australia have hit close to home for some of our members. The brush fires have destroyed homes near Neville, but his home, thankfully, has been spared. There have been tragic loses of life, including the nephew of a friend of Neville's who was a firefighter.
According to new reports the fires continue to intensify. Neville said temps where he is are 41C, which for us Yankees is 106F!
Many of us can have a disconnect from major news that is taking place so far away, so I just thought it should be said, here, that some of our brothers on this site, and there are probably others, are going through a hard time right now. Tune in to your preferred news feed to see just how bad things are there now.
There are a couple of organizations that keep coming up in my search for ways to help, in case you are also interested....
The Australian Red Cross
The Country Fire Service (CFS), which "provides financial assistance to CFS volunteer firefighters and their families who have suffered through death, injury, loss or damage of property while in the line of service."
Neville did not ask me to create this post, so I hope that he will be OK with me sharing and making the connection to the fires a bit more personal.
Donating would be the best way to really show your support.
Let's all keep these folks in our thoughts and prayers.
@Neville Lush is still up and running, so don't hesitate to contact him if you need his services.
