Out Of The Australian Fires, A Heartwarming Story - Page 3
'Sam is probably aged between two to four going by her teeth and Bob is about four so they have a muchness with each other.'
I'm sorry, maybe I'm an old softie, but that brought tears to my eyes, to see something good come out of so much devastation. I sincerely hope that there are more stories of hope and renewal come out of this terrible time.
I have a small experience with fire myself, and I know on a small scale what it is like to be caught up in it, to run into flames searching for an animal, to stand helplessly watching the flames and worry. Fortunately, everyone in my family, including both cats, made it out. However, I cannot fathom fire on this scale or magnitude, or what it feels like to see entire towns wiped out or entire families gone. I don't pretend to even imagine the anguish of family members searching for their loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers are with all our Aussie friends during this time.
I've found two sites where you can donate to help the victims of the fires: The Australian Red Cross, and The Salvation Army in Australia. Both have links where you can donate online. If any of our readers know of any other sites, please let us know. I know we all are being hit with the credit crunch, and times are bad for us all, but it isn't until you lose everything that you realize true riches do not come from money. I'm sure we can all find a little bit to help.
