AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES

[muth]

We all know about the fires. If you feel saddened and helpless you can help with a small donation. Anything is appreciated and needed. And if you have some crafting skills you can make a pouch for orphaned baby kangaroos and koalas. I think you can get more information here:

You're a gem @muth. Thank you.

You're a gem @muth. Thank you.
Money is great of course but we need to come to terms with the root causes. Climate change of course but land clearing and over development in fragile areas is not talked about enough here anymore.
Our fragile ancient land can't handle the population pressures being applied.
Hard calls need to be made by real leaders. Not sure if that will hapoen

I agree about the leaders. But right now there are people and animals who need help. Any donations I send will go direct and not through Go Fund Me. There are Aussie members on ELR who started a thread. I'll post that as well for anyone who wants a detailed understanding of what's happening at the moment. There are also vape shows with reviewers, etc. happening with prizes to help the cause. Info at ELR thread which I'll post below.

How are you doing, my friend? I have friends from the Melbourne area who just settled here but own property in Australia and have family there.

Thanks for all the links!

I asked to join the FB group. A woman in one of the groups mentioned it, but I couldn’t find it. The crafters are pretty hung ho to help, making stuff to donate, or to sell to donate the profits. Maybe I can enlist my local yarn store to get more people on board.

Thanks for showing your concern @muth. You are a gem

You're a love to consider it but fair warning.....they can't receive any more pouches right now. They've been inundated to the point where they can't handle the crates being flown from every corner of the globe! If they need more in the future look into the instructions on what materials to use. I read that yarn can not be easily sterilized and the animals claws get stuck in it. You would do better to find out for yourself, I'm not much of a crafter, just reading up on the articles. I do remember reading something about encouraging crafters to make koala teddies, etc. to raise money.

Honestly, unless people are burying their heads in the sand, how can you not be concerned? Australia is taking the hit but this is about all of us when all is said and done. We can't ignore the fact that our planet is changing at a rapid pace and we better wake up, get prepared, and start doing what we can to minimize the suffering. My eyes are wide open.

I pray that stays that way for you and your loved ones.

I'm in the South East of Victoria so it's just getting mighty hot where I live at the moment.

Dang, you need rain.

@DeloresRose Hi Delores Rose....is this the FB group you were talking about? Up top there is a link to the Citizen Times article about the pouches. There is a link in that article leading to this. It's called Animal Rescue Craft Guild in case the FB link doesn't work when I try to copy it here. Fingers crossed.....

DIY Down Under.... $4065 raised 14 hours ago.

ETA: I've been so busy running around trying to get these posts up in other forums that I missed the show! Sorry for the confusion, I believe they ran out of prizes and it's over now. The show, anyway. The list of prizes was amazing. They may have reached $7000
