Donate to the Australian Bushfires
As you may be aware, Australia is in the grips of devastating bushfires. KEVIN.MURPHY will be donating $100,000 to various organisations in Australia to provide relief and recovery assistance to its citizens, firefighters and wildlife.Our hearts our broken for the families and wildlife impacted and our thoughts are with the courageous firefighters and the sacrifices they are making to bring these fires under control. The fires in Australia have now scorched more than 15 million acres of land, killed almost half a billion animals, burned down over 1,400 homes, and displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
We encourage those that find it in their hearts to donate and have listed the links to the organisations we will be giving back to below. They are on the front lines and assisting not only people, but also animals affected. Below are descriptions of how the donations will be used:
The regional fire services in the worst affected states, NSW, SA & VIC all require significant help for volunteer firefighters on the frontline, as well as provide relief to those affected. The Red Cross Disaster Relief is supporting thousands of people in evacuation centres and recovery hubs across Australia.
RSPCA NSW and the World Wildlife Fund are doing all they can to protect the animals in threatened or affected areas.
