Vinnies Bushfire Appeal
Bushfires are now devastating several communities across Australia. Hundreds of homes have been lost, livelihoods destroyed and tragically, some people have lost their loved ones.
Vinnies is active helping people as they deal with the immediate aftermath of the fires, and will continue to be there as they rebuild their lives in the long term.
With your support Vinnies can:
- Provide food, clothing, essential items and grocery vouchers for people who have lost everything.
- Pay unexpected bills as people work through the recovery process.
- Make referrals onto a range of other organisations providing crisis accommodation and specialised services.
- Give much-needed emotional support, as well as practical assistance to pick up the pieces after homes are lost.
This emergency is unprecedented, and frighteningly, it is forecast to get even worse. Please donate urgently so Vinnies can be there for everyone needing help.
