๐ฅ๐ Our Community Needs Us โ Now More Than Ever ๐๐ฅ
Over the past days, devastating fires have torn through the farms just outside our town.
Families have lost homes, belongings, and their sense of safety. Livestock are left with no grazing, no feed โ and with months of drought behind us, the land is dry and fragile.
Many of these farmers are not just neighboursโฆ
They are the very people who greatly support our Soup Kitchen week after week by donating vegetables so we can feed others.
Now they are the ones in need.
๐ To our incredible community โ thank you.
Thank you to every person who donated clothes, food, drinks, bedding, and essentials to families who lost everything.
Thank you to the firefighting crews โ made up largely of local farmers and the fire brigadeโ who fought tirelessly day and night to protect lives and land, including the Animal sanctuary
Thank you to local businesses who sent water trucks, supplied food, and supported the crews on the ground.
A BIG thank you to Lifefirst in Port Alfred for coordinating everything behind the scenes and keeping it all together.
What we have witnessed is community at its very best. And are so grateful that no human life was lost
๐ To our friends and supporters inland and overseas:
This small town is facing a very big challenge. The recovery will take time, and many families are starting again from nothing. A BackaBuddy campaign has been set up to help them rebuild their lives, restore their farms, and care for their animals.
If you are able to help in any way โ whether through sharing or donating โ it would mean more than words can say.
