181 dead- 80 missing

  • Mood: Anguish
  • Watching: Bushfire tribute
Trying to write this, I have no idea what to say. The horror I feel at this tragedy is too great. Bushfires in Victoria have killed 181 people, with 80 people still missing, and fires still burning. People have lost family, friends and their entire lives. Towns have been eradicated. Worst of all, some of these fires may have been deliberately lit.

I live in Victoria, but, by some amazing feat, I have not been affected by the fires. But the images I see on TV make my heart break. People mourning lost ones, not knowing who is alive and who is dead. I am so sorry for your losses.

I am unbelievebly thankful for those who fight these fires. Whether they are firefighters, or just people protecting their homes and doing whats right. You are all heroes. We are blessed to have you.

I wish I could do more then just donating some soap and shampoo. those who are donating blood and money, or even neccesities like I have, you are all heroes as well.

Anyone who wishes to donate, please ring 1800 811 700. You could help give people back their homes.
