Qld Floods and how you can HELP

Yes I am living in Queensland, Australia. We have the most devastating situation here at the moment. Many people are homeless now and many are missing and many lives have been lost. I am among many trying to help people and find out ways to continue helping. Unfortunately there is little many of us can do until the water levels have decreased. 

A couple of simple things that people can do though is one stay safe, don't go into the water. It's not worth it. 

To donate money you can do this by going to the website http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html this is a government website with all the information there. 

You can donate to the Salvos http://salvos.org.au/

there are many more organisation that will be donating. I also have to say that if you are traveling with Virgin Blue they are matching $1 for $1 on all donations. Please give as much as you can as they have already raised more than $250,000

On my flight back from TAS I was with Virgin Blue and I am very please I was.

The shelters are needing thongs for everyone, especially the adults as many turned up with nothing other than the clothes on their back. I believe from reports today that people have been very good and they have enough bedding and clothing for the moment. I am sure that the need for shovels, brooms etc will be needed next. Hopefully places like Bunnings and Mitre 10 are up for donating towards this part. 
If I can help anyone please contact me. We will try and do as much as we can.
