As many of you are probably aware, Australia is in dire straits with the ongoing drought. Our OUTBACK that is the icon of this huge land, is desolate, as are the people, animals and crops. We are suffering terribly under the weight of poverty in the outback, and it just breaks me up to see the enormity of what is happening.
We acknowledge that Our US cuzzies have been and are still suffering too, with other natrual and not so natrual disasters, but if you have the means, or the Know how to get the word, the support out into your communities, please do so, we would be so much indebted to you for any help.
You will find a website addy below, for an extraordinary couple, who started a charity known as Aussiehelpers. Please read their story and of the organization as it is to date. It's inspiring and heartwarming.
Thankyou, and all YOUSE Aussies reading this, do what you can too.I have tags on my emails, and advertising on my personal website, which is freely allowed. Click the website to find out how.
Kind Regards to all
Ch'erie

Drought Stricken



In this sunburnt land
iconic as the grand
canyon down below
are crops that do not show
the fruit of the labour
and of their next door neighbor
nor do the cattle or the sheep
have enough to eat so their sleep
is disturbed night after night
whilst the rains have taken flight


The famers suffer long
tis a huge weight they carry long
families in despair
without food or comforting care
many have left with naught
and are struggling as they aught
not to be for their trouble
which without rains has become double
so if you can lend a hand
to help this sunburnt land

Check out the website below
shout it out, help us grow!

 

Thank you and God bless

Your heart-cry is powerful here dear Ch'erie.

The planet is changing everywhere, and there is much suffering on many and disparate levels. I was unaware of the plight of the Australian farmers. America is being inundated with bizarre weather and horrific storms. Time for people to join hands in unity and humility and plead our case with the Most High God. Blessings to you and yours dear woman.

Light and Wisdom ...

My heart goes out to the farmers and brave souls in Australia and a round of applause for you Cherry Pie for bringing this to the worlds attention. Maybe a letter to Willie Nelson to do an aid concert for these good people may be in order. Regardless I will check out the sight and my thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

Hadn't realized that things have been that bad for five long years Down Under, Ch'erie. I will certainly spread the word, and I truly hope Aussieland gets that much needed rain very soon.

"In this sunburnt land"...

Wow, what an image! Very well penned; I am sorry you are in the drought conditions there; we were there last year. It's not our fault!! LOL (At least, I HOPE not...LOL) Wish I could have God direct the rain there; Lord knows you need it bad!!!!! I wish I had the financial means to help y'all, as does Karla, but the best we can do is pray. I hope this raises the needed funds to help your nation.

((((((HUGS))))), much love, and many prayers, your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :(

Ch'erie,

While you are suffering under drought conditions, it is raining in Texas: feast or famine, last year, we couldn't B U Y any rain. You and your nation are in my prayers for beneficial, gentle rains. A powerful write with outstanding lines: "sunburnt land" particularly telling. Ozzies are strong; resiliant; many could not live in the harsh conditions of the bush. Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
