Victorian Bushfires
| 
One of our friends is a volunteer fire fighter. He is out there right now, we don't know if he's ok, but we know he had the opportunity to leave and didn't, because he knew he was needed.
Because there is nothing else we can do, we would like to encourage everyone to donate something to the CFA or the Bushfire Victims appeals.
