There are a ton of folks in Australia or New Zealand who are accepting donations of quilted squares, quilts, knitted items, and other things to help rebuild lives turned to ashes by the bush fires. Take a look at the site and if you’re moved to help, please do so.
Also know that the Red Cross is always taking donations, and Wildlife Victoria could use assistance dealing with all the animals injured or displaced by the same fires.
Spread the word if you haven’t already?
