Tribute to Victoria Bushfire Victims

I went to my local bank today to deposit some money into the Victoria Bushfire Appeal account. It was just a small contribution to the appeal but it came from my heart.
I can not imagine if I were one of those victims, who lost their loved ones and who lost their houses! Within two black days (Saturday and Sunday), the blaze wiped off many towns, more than 900 homes have been destroyed and 7000 survivors have registered with the Red Cross for assistance.
I believe many people spent their whole life to build up their dream house with a hope of having peaceful life among a green environment. Who would have thought that their dream would be ended in a few seconds!!!
I think if each of us contributes some money to the appeal even with a small amount, together our contribution would add up to a big sum and would be a great help for the bushfire victims
If you live in Australia, you can go to any branch of NAB, Westpac, Commonwealth Bank and just ask tellers about donating to the Victoria Bush Fire Appeal and they will help you to deposit money into the appeal account. And if you are from overseas, you can go to http://www.redcross.org.au for your donation.
