#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.

Hey everyone! 😊

I hope you're all having a great day. I'd like to share a story about a strong single mom I recently met who's facing some challenges in her life. She's doing her best to stay afloat, but could really use a helping hand right now. Her situation became so desperate that she even considered selling her body but ultimately felt guilty for thinking about it. As a woman and a mother, she deserves better.

I'm planning on teaching her some valuable skills to improve her situation, but she needs a little financial assistance to get through this tough time. That's where our wonderful community comes in! If you're able to, please consider donating any amount directly to her personal PayPal account. By providing her own PayPal, we aim to ensure transparency and eliminate any doubts about the authenticity of this charity effort.

PayPal email: mastcham@yahoo.com

No donation is too small, and every bit will be greatly appreciated! 🙏 Your generosity will not only help her get back on her feet but also remind her that she's not alone in her journey.

If you can't donate, that's totally fine – simply sharing this post with your friends and family would be a huge help! Let's come together and make a difference in this incredible woman's life. 💪

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you can offer. You're all amazing! 😊

Our little library has been a roaring success this year thanks to all our community contributing. So today we have decided to send it Christmassy! #LittleLibrary #CommunitySpirit

Vancouver cyclist Philip Marciniak demonstrates his v-plow-equipped ebike clearing sidewalks for other cyclists.

Community-minded folks like this make a difference.
