FUNDRAISING AUCTION

Our Fundraising Auction ended on Sunday 13th January and we raised $2,500!! Thank you to everyone who placed a bid, commented, tagged or shared the post. ⁠It is all a heart breaking tragedy and I still have trouble holding out tears every time I watch the news. But it's truly uplifting to at least see how the communities, individuals, small and larger businesses have gathered to help in any way they can. ⁠ Unfortunately is this is far from over, and if anything else positive comes out of this, it's that this has been a huge wake up call… somehow I don’t know how some have not heard it before... it is deafening!⁠ This cannot become the new normal.⁠

.⁠ Keep up donating, volunteering, crafting and making your voice heard.⁠

.⁠ Try and channel any negative emotions into positive actions.⁠

.⁠ Be the best you can!⁠

.⁠ Thank you 🙏🏼⁠

These charities below are our personal favourites if you would like to make any donations.

Wildlife Victoria - Victorian Bushfires Appeal. “Donations to our Victorian bushfire appeal will be distributed to wildlife shelters and carers to help rebuild enclosures and equipment that they have lost in the fires so that they can continue their lifesaving work, and support those that are struggling to cope with the enormous number of animals that will need care in the coming weeks and months.” @wildlifevictoria
