Australia, the fires and the victims: how to help

Australia, how to help? The Hemsworth brothers, P!nk, Nick Kyrgios, Kylie Jenner, Kylie Minogue, and Leonardo DiCaprio have been wonderful but they are not the only ones who can lend a hand the firefighters, the victims, the wildlife.
According to ‘the Sun’,

“there are lots of ways to donate to those who need help.

  • Australia’s Red Cross Disaster relief and recovery fund help support evacuation centres and recovery programmes for the affected communities.
  • Local fire services, like the NSW Rural Fire Service and Queensland Fire Service, are accepting donations directly.
  • The Salvation Army Australia also have a disaster appeal – who deliver crucial support to local communities as the fires rip through the country.
  • Find a Bed has been set up for families who have lost their homes. It connects people with Australians and landlords from abroad with property in affected areas.
  • The Intrepid Foundation is matching donations up to £105,000, with all funds raised going to the Red Cross Bushfire Emergency Appeal.
  • Celeste Barber who soared to fame with her hilarious comparison pictures on Instagram is raising money on Facebook for the NSW Rural Fire Service. She has raised a staggering £20 million so far.
  • WIRES Wildlife Rescue need more volunteers to help save the animals. The charity is already asking Aussies to help make pouches for small marsupials.
  •  Wildlife Victoria’s bushfire appeal is disturbing donations to wildlife shelters.
  • Victorian Farmers Federation was set up to help farmers whose land has been destroyed in the fire.
  • Givit is a charity that collects items and gives them to those in need.
  • The CVS Foundation of volunteer firefighters is a team of volunteers who have been working non-stop, putting their lives at risk to help save people, animals and homes.”
