Woody, our thoughts n prayers are with you in this difficult time. You have always been a good friend, straight up, no BS and helpful. I value and appreciate spirits such as yours in ANY world, by sharing a few bucks to help you get back to your life you feed my heart 100fold. I am sure you will need some Pizza n Beer during your clean up and reorganization. I am practical, you need FOOD and DRINK to survive so that is the amount WE, Andrea and I, will donate hoping each time you wash that pizza down with a cold swig of some local Aussi beer, NOT Fosters, you will think of ALL of US from Achat and know that there are those that really care. It's more than just fantasy.
I know you are tough and proud, but we all need help sometimes, please accept our very small token of friendship and may you find the strength to see your way through this.
*hugs* your friends Kaitlyn n Andrea

WOW Thank you all for your warm wishes of support and your generous donations, I am so touched by the generosity of you all.
Many of you have asked the circumstances of disaster that occured so i thought i tell all here
Lismore is and always has been flood prone as it is the nexus of three rivers with a huge catchment area, we get 3 or 4 flood “warnings” every year though in the 12 years ive been here we not had a flood thanks to the 10 metre levee that is installed.
let me digress with a story
early in the week we were warned that there was a possibility of flooding as the tailof debbie (the cyclone) was heading south and a super cell storm was heading north. the local SES went around warning people to prepare, they went to one devout christians house and he told them he wasnt worried as GOD would look after him.
later on in the week a SMS message was broadcast warning people again of an impending flood, again our devout christian wasnt worried as his GOD would take care of him.
On the night before the flood an SES member did a walk through telling residents to pack and prepare to evacuate, again the christian told him his god would look after him and he wasnt worried.
the following morning when the water was rising a SES member in a kayak arrived and offered to take our christian to the evacuee centre, again he said his god would look after him and sent the SES man away,
later when the water was entering his house a speedboat full of SES volunteers arrived offering to rescue him and again he refused toleave as his god would “save” him.
Much later he was sitting on his roof surrounded by water a helicopter arrived and wanted to take him to safety again he refused stating his god would take care of him.
eventually he drowned and went to heaven and was greeted by st peter who invited him in.
he asked st peter if he could have a word with GOD, st peter told him god was busy but he would ask
st peter told him he could have a minute with god.
The christian spoke to god stating that he had relied on him to save him and he had let him drown during the flood!
God replied ” i sent you a SES volunteer a kayak a speed boat and a helicopter, and you refused them all, what more could i do?”
anyway back to the facts
