“They’re continuing to burn with warmer weather on its way. We’re still in the thick of it here with plenty of challenging times ahead and still to come. So, what we need is your support and your donations.

“I want to support the fight against the bushfires here in Australia. My family and I are contributing a million dollars. Hopefully you guys can chip in too. Every penny counts so whatever you can muster up is greatly appreciated.”
