Australia Update
Tim has been to Victoria and met some of the folks who have lost their homes to these fires
To get a faint idea of how it must be for the suddenly homeless, just walk out your front door. Don’t look back. Now take complete stock of your earthly goods by simply adding up the clothes you’re wearing. You don’t even own a spare pair of socks.Yet the mood around the tents is positive, even defiant. Everyone at Yea’s little tent city genuinely consider themselves among the lucky ones. And they are. Unlike some 300 others, they are alive.
This mood persists despite the shock of a few hours earlier, when Driscoll and his family (and the rest of Flowerdale’s evacuees) had been allowed for the first time to return to their homes.
Like we've been posting all week, please give what you can to the Australian Red Cross.
These are wonderful people, our best and steadiest friends in this world.
They need our help.
