My Lil Online World

Yes, I know what nature has done to your land and its occupants.

The losses of people, old and young, killed by the roaring bushfires, some hiding in their homes, some on the way to escape, some helplessly stranded in high danger... and many with the best fire-escape plans.

Still they were unable to escape.

The whole nation is in mourning.

Your roads were blocked, your schools were shut down, entire towns were wiped off your map. There are still people whose lives are undefined. There are still people living in fear.

There are people whose hearts had been broken along with their hopes and dreams. There are people whose nearest and dearest had been taken by the disaster and are streaming with tears everyday.

Too many houses had been destroyed, leaving too many people homeless in struggling conditions. Too much damage had been done.

To many it just seems like too much to take.

But don't cry, Victoria...

For help is coming - not only from above.

But within you as well!

So many people have stood up to protect your towns and territories from the evil of fire. They proved their strength with their courage, persistence and determination.

So many people are doing their best to help you and your people go through this hardship. Many have made generous donations in order to repair the damage - and also to fulfil the broken dreams of many of your people.

And...

So many of us are empathising with you.

We're with you, Victoria.

We are.

And we believe in you and your people!

Remember how the whole of China got together after the 5.12 earthquake? Well that's exactly what Australia will do!

We are one

But we are many

And from all the lands on earth we come

We share a dream

And sing with one voice

I am, you are, we are Australian.

I am,

you are,

we are

Australian!

Blessings to you, Victoria. The same blessings go toward the victims of the Queensland flood who had been isolated from the outside world and lost their homes and towns. Remember: we're with you, and we'll always be!
