karenmiller's LJ:
"There are many appeals going right now, to help all the people affected by these fires. Over $12 million in public donations has been taken already. But the animals affected are in even worse straits than the people, so if you feel you can help, even if it's only a couple of dollars, please go here to make a donation to the Victorian RSPCA's bushfire appeal."
The Australian Red Cross is also accepting donations.
Times are tough here, and it's hard to think about sending money so far away when so many need help here, too. But watching footage of the fires on the news is purely heartbreaking, all the more so because they were, apparently, the result of arson. If we, by helping, can offset the inhumanity of the arsonists, then it's a few dollars well-spent...
