As most of you on here know, I’m an ex-pat, originally from Sunderland and now in the polis living in Western Australia.
You may also know, through reading the news that there is currently a bushfire raging through the countryside on Perth’s eastern side. It’s even getting close to where I live and ash from the fire is landing in my back garden although we’re fairly safe and I’m certain that the fire will be well under control in the next couple of days.
In the last three days though this bushfire has destroyed at least 71 homes despite the outstanding efforts of our firefighters working 24/7. In fact if it wasn’t for their efforts the devastation would undoubtedly have been a lot worse. A lot of people have had their livelihood taken away from them.
I know that the whole world is having it tough with COVID and by comparison Australia has got off quite lightly, but if any of you could see your way to even donating a small amount to the Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund to help out those who have lost everything it would be appreciated.
It’s always been said that us Sunderland supporters show true class at times like this.
Me and Mrs EJK have already donated and Master EJK is just about to!
I’m not affiliated to this fund. It’s been set up by The City of Perth (the council in English terminology) and is essentially a local government fund set up to help in situations like this. It’s also the official fund, which was set up in 1961 and is only activated in times like this.
