ImageThe devastation caused by the Victorian bushfires is truly shocking. Black Friday and Ash Wednesday both pale in comparison with the horrific losses mounting from this past weekend. The death toll now stands at 173, but police anticipate it could rise as high as 300.
This shocking news is made all the more sickening due to the suspicion of arson. These burnt out areas are considered crime scenes, and the police have launched taskforce Phoenix to investigate.
While we remain glued to the grizzly news, here are a few things you can do to help:
1. Donate to the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal
2. Donate blood! Victorian hospitals are desperate for some of your red stuff.
3. Drop off some clothes or household goods to the Salvos, Vinnies or Red Cross.
4. Buy some Love You Big pretties! Kate is donating all sales of her etsy, crafty goodness on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th February: love you big: Sale for Bushfire Fund
5. Go to the movies: Hoyts is donating $2 from every ticket sold on Sunday 15th February, so how's about you hit the cinemas with your Valentine on Sunday instead of Saturday?
