This is a quick off-topic post about the recent bushfires in Victoria. In Australia there are bushfires every year, but this year the fires were worse than usual. A combination of the drought, temperature (last Saturday it was 47 degrees celsius in some parts of the state) and wind made the fires bigger and faster.
Right now 7000 people are homeless and over 1000 homes have been completely destroyed. Last I heard the death toll was at 181 and expected to climb.
I know economically times are tough, but if you can part with just a little cash to help someone rebuild their lives, no donation is too small:
