Every day, in so many ways, people tell us how your donations, in enabling our bushfire grants have helped them to make the choices that are right for their recovery.
You have helped them replace precious things, make repairs to their homes, cover out-of-pocket funeral or hospital costs, or re-establish a safe place to live. You have been a light in so many people’s lives, lifting a heavy weight off their shoulders in the face of utter devastation.
We are humbled and grateful for the generous contributions of so many thousands of people, community groups and companies that have made this critical support possible. For more information on our progress, the challenges we faced, and the many ways you’ve helped, please find our 2-year report now online.
In the meantime, here are just a handful of stories from the people you’ve helped.
When we go through rough patches in life, it is the kindness of other people that allows you to manage. Red Cross harnessed the kindness of Australians.
"To say thank you … is putting it mildly. What a blessing!!!! You have more than made my day."
Red Cross pays our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander custodians of the country where we work, and to Elders, past, present and emerging.
