Id like to send my love and sorrow out to all the people affected in the australian victorian bushfires. More then 200 dead and 800 homes lost, and 1000's of wildlife dead or without a home. And sadly there are still fires in victoria that still have not been put to rest. Firefighters are now worried about more towns that may be under threat due to the weather change this coming friday.
People... Whole families, sleep in tiny tents in parks with other familis in tents as they have no other shelter. Donations have come from all around the world which helps but barely makes a differece. Small children now have to sleep in a bed other then their own and wearing pj's that isnt theirs. They have no familiar toys or belongings, everything from photo albums to shoes are now all burnt, even alot of their pets. And now everything needs cleaning up so these families can try and start again. Thank god for the volunteers to help these people through.
And the sadest part of this story is these parents, with these children who have lost everything are the lucky ones. Spare a thought for those parents who's children burnt to death, and for the children who now have no parents or family. These children and adults will come together and get through this. they will re-build, but they will never forget what was lost and their friends who have now gone. They will never forget the saddness in their hearts... xxx
