#FlashbackFriday - Black Saturday Bushfires.

Back in 2009, Victoria suffered one of the most significant bushfires it had seen to date...I signed up to volunteer at a donation centre in Wallen...there is always that one interaction that sticks with you. For me, it was a mum who had come in with her toddler.
...
This woman...pulled me into an embrace and cried softly into my shoulder so that her child could not hear her.
...
We do not need to know someone to help them. We do not need to experience their trauma to sympathise with them. We do not need to understand them to be there for them. We do not need to have anything in order to give.
...
When we start seeing what the community can do for us and stop seeing what we can offer to our community, the community loses something special. We all have the ability to make our world a little better for our community. Will you share your time, your heart, your smile with your community?

*The photo below was the certificate sent to me by the Mayor of Whittlesea. I didn't know I was getting it, nor did I expect to receive it and though I am grateful for the recognition, I am more thankful that I was given the opportunity to help others and feel like I was really doing something that mattered to the community.

The news you have been wanting to hear. I have finally got an answer for you all regarding fares for users of the new East Keilor/Keilor Park/Airport West station..

FARES WILL BE AT PUBLIC TRANSPORT RATES!

Minister Jacinta Allen has advised:
"While fares to the airport on Melbourne Airport Rail are expected to be comparable to other airport services across Australia, stations along the route not traveling to the airport will be in line with the existing metropolitan / regional fare structures."

I have attached the letter in full for your consideration. Thank you to everyone who supported me in my campaign for community transparency. I have replied to Minister Allen with my message of thanks for providing me with this information.

Also, thank you to Minister Ben Carroll MP for forwarding my email to Minister Allen.

@iBlame the Texas power grid should be good as long as we DO NOT get sleet/ice. If anyone in NTX looses power, they are welcome to come stay with us. We are well armed and supplied.

@Some_Emo_Chick just bought my 6-month-old granddaughter this book. Unfortunately I got to wait a couple more years before I start teaching her how to fix things, cook redneck food and give back to our community. #WomensRights #CommunityFirst
