Thanks again to everyone that has helped me sort and deliver very much appreciated x

23.01.2022 Good morning guys.. just wanted to give you all an update. Last night was really bad, especially when the winds came through at 11.00. But as usual, our amazing firies & emergency crews did an amazing job, working tirelessly through the night, many doing a 22 hour shift. There were still a few homes destroyed, but many more saved, & no loss of life. The wind is picking up now, but most seems to be under control. Will keep you posted.. Stay safe! Chelle

16.01.2022 At this stag if freeway is open we are going up Friday night. Brad has kindly donated his truck to fill and deliver all your items to the needed .

I personally want to thank you as this is amazing , I have filled another trailer thanks to Toronto Diggers for lending it to me x . I left my house for 2 hrs tonight and returned to this. I will continue to do trips to help the mid north coa...st as long as it takes . I meet a beautiful couple tonight that offered to help me make this happen with another truck offer and a gentleman that has offered to do trips when he is needed , again thank you all so much we are going to need it cause this little duck is not stopping at one trip . I have so many offers of furniture etc and once those that lost homes get alternative housing we are going to be there for them . We get to meet our first 6 family’s tomorrow .

10.01.2022 Thank you so much to Jodi Becker for helping today to sort all these donations and making packs for the firies . you are angels. thank you Stevie and ray alo for delivering Ute loads of donations Honestly from the bottom of my heart I thank you all

09.01.2022 Ok so I have filled 2 trailers to the brim , 3 cars and a truck of furniture but in need to borrow a cage trailer if anyone has one I could borrow for the weekend. I would be so appreciative I will personally be towing it and looking after it . Or does anyone work where I can hire one with a bit of mates rates added to it ?

09.01.2022 Hi guys.. As Karina said, I’m in Cundletown, which is smack bang in the middle of the fires. So far, we have over 150 families that have lost everything. The evacuation centres are full, every motel is booked out, & the show ground is almost full to the brim. As well as clothes & bedding, there are a few items that are DESPERATELY needed.... The Firies have urgently requested the following: Lip balm, lozenges, long socks, toothbrushes & hand sanitiser. Other items urgently needed are: BRAND NEW underwear for males & females, (socks, undies, bras, singlets & nappies), toiletries & sanitary products, non-perishable food, baby products (nappies, wipes, dummies, formula, bottles, nappy rash cream etc). Karina will be bringing the first load up on Friday night, & we’ll spend the next few days organising & delivering all of your fabulous donations to the families who need it most. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!!!

09.01.2022 Update on our act of kindness spent the last 3 weeks going up to bobin delivering all the awesome donations, again thank you so bloody much it’s been amazing . I have changed the name of my page to reflect the awesome little town I wish to continue helping bobin. As I have said in earlier posts I meet lots of awesome people. I set out on this journey not just to help with clothes , toiletries and bits & pieces that we all donated, I would love to try and help them more . ...I have learnt a lot in in my life and more so in the last 4 weeks the good old saying you can only ask, well guys I may be asking a bit to much but I can only try. These pics show you the bloody country spirt of a man that’s trying to put his life back together for his kids to be together again as they were before the inferno hit his property on 9/11 in bobin and turned everything single thing he has worked hard for into ash or behond use . As I said I can only ask if there is someone that has these things not being used or left overs from any jobs or can get them donated or selling for very bloody cheap, it would enable paul to clean up the devastation that’s been left and for him to get around his property to asses the damage to fences etc and repair Any tools Barbed wire or fencing wire Any Building materials Electrical item eg wiring power points etc Motor bike / trikes Tractor / bobcat Solar panels (as power still not on due to hundreds of lines burnt ) Shipping container Garden sheds / lawn lockers 4wd Tyres to fix the trailer SatSleeve or satellite phone as not home ph till way after Xmas and no mobile service . Any contacts for me to call in reference to businesses that may donate would be awesome. Any trucks heading north empty I can fill with items would be very Greatly appreciated Any one of these items that are donated will be life changing As I said I may be asking a bit to much but again I will never know unless I ask. Thank you for taking time to read my post

02.01.2022 UPDATE 2: So far, we have at least 6 families that we’re in contact with to help. What we REALLY need at the moment, for the Firies, is: lip balm, lozenges, long socks, hand cream & toothbrushes. Victims & Evacuees: Sanitary products, toiletries, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, non-perishable foods, baby formula, BRAND NEW underwear for all ages, guys & girls, tents & blow up mattresses & bags of all types, from large zip locks, to large stripes bags & everything in between.....

You’re all bloody legends!!

02.01.2022 Working in 48 + heat wave on Friday and Saturday in bobin helping paul and dom remove the remains of his lost possessions from the fires , I was about to call it a day as I felt dehydrated and exhausted I found this little bit of the bull bar from the patrol. It looks like a slouch hat on a soldier it inspired me to keep going. My point is no matter what happens something or someone can inspire you to keep going . #nevergiveup

01.01.2022 My mumma bear came up with a awesome idea to send up the woolies discovery gardens if you have any to spare please drop them at my door.

01.01.2022 On the look out for any carpet off cuts or carpet that has been removed and in good condition ( no pet smells ) to put around the ground to stop ash and dust coming into the shed /home would be greatly appreciated

01.01.2022 This was in Harrington. If it wasn’t for our incredible Firies & water bombers, this fireball would have gone through the whole town.
