I really like your everyday Heroes post, ka pai! Your list of 5 things we can do are really thoughtful. I am glad you are thinking about the children too. I’m sure having some toys to play with would make a big difference to some of the children.
Donations are a great way to support firefighters in Australia, as most of them are unpaid volunteers. Clothes and blankets would be helpful too. One thing I know they are asking for is blankets and protective pouches for animals who have lost their homes in the crisis. These can be donated through the ‘Animal Rescue Craft Guild’. A lot of people are knitting baby kangaroo pouches out of wool!
Although the bush-fires are really sad, I think it’s really positive to see the rest of the world coming to Australia’s aid, don’t you?
You are absolutely right about toys providing comfort for children. When I was two years old, my dad actually bought my a soft toy crocodile from Australia. I loved it so much I still have it today haha!

Hi Katelynn,

Do you have any special toys you have held on to?
