Friends and family of friends in Victoria were lucky to save their homes and walk away safe. However some friends of friends were not so fortunate and have lost homes, animals etc And the worst thing is that it's a long way from over . . .

Make sure everyone shops at Coles this Friday and Woolies/safeway next friday. They are giving all their profits to the bush fire appeal.
I have a friend who has been fighting the fires. He keeps saying he's not a hero.

My cousin and her husband were in the Herald Sun yesterday. They are very lucky to still have their house. They are in Healesville and have the three sides of bushland around their house and had a fire coming towards the remaining side the last time we heard. They had Elvis drop two loads of water near them and were very lucky to have a lot of firefighters out there to help them. They had three rounds of it all so they, my uncle and my cousin's husband's dad and brothers haven't slept or eaten in ages as they have to keep putting out spot fires.
Another aunt of mine was near a fire that was put out quickly so they are ok.

I've donated a gorgeous UK Baby Sunset so if anybody's after her buy some tickets!!!!!! Proceeds I believe are going to the Red Cross so victims will get 100% I have the raffle now running at the MLPTP and some gorgeous prizes have been donated including my MIB 2007 Comic Con Pony. Tickets are AU $1 each for Aussies and kiwis and can be paid into my paypal addy kristy.reynolds@bigpond.com As Princess Locket mentioned all money will go directly to the Australian Red Cross as they use 100% of the money raised to go directly to those affected by the bushfires. So drop on by the MLPTP to check out all the details.
