Hi everyone,
I think we all can appreciate myVMK for its ability to escape reality for a little while. But I would like to take a moment to step back into the real world and reach out to the community to discuss a modern climate crisis.
As I'm sure you've all heard, Australia is currently burning at an unprecedented rate. Thousands have lost their homes, and an estimated 500 million animals have lost their lives. I didn’t quite realize how bad the situation was until I read up on it myself. I wish I could fly over and help out directly, but I have decided that donating to the cause is the next best option.
If you can please donate with me to help out those directly fighting the fires, evacuating those in danger, and rescuing the injured wildlife. I've provided several links to sites where you can donate and read up on the current state of the fires.
