Today we met Micheal. An incredible individual, who lost everything in the fires. 💔

Heartbreakingly he had no insurance, and has since chosen to use his time to help the local community.

When his home burnt down, he was out there helping the community. He told me “I’ll help everyone else, before myself- the community matters most”

We are releasing a video and will share his go fund me page soon.. much love ❤️

We’ve been keeping our hands busy, doing what we can for our town that’s been through so much.
After losing whst we had built on January 9th, the kindness and support we’ve been shown has been nothing short of extraordinary. We’re deeply thankful to everyone who’s stood with us, who's donated and supported us in whatever way they can— it’s reminded us why this place and our community near and far, matter more than we can say. Thank you.

We want to begin by expressing our sincere thanks and deep gratitude for every donation, share, message, and show of support. The attention and care given to our family business and to the wider Harcourt community has been truly humbling. Your generosity and kindness have meant more than words can express during this uncertain time.
Recovery is slow, as expected, but we are working hard and with quiet determination to make progress, one step at a time. There is still much to consider and navigate, and the path forward is not yet clear, but our commitment to supporting our local Harcourt community remains strong. We are grateful for your continued patience and faith, and we will share further updates as things develop.

We are deeply grateful for the generosity and kindness shown to our family and our small local business during this incredibly difficult time. The bushfire has taken much from us, but it has not taken our resolve. Your support has been both humbling and strengthening, reminding us that even in moments of great loss, community endures. We are carrying this gratitude with us as we take steady steps forward, with as much care, patience, and integrity as possible. 

We want to assure everyone that your contributions are being held with respect and purpose as we navigate the next stages of recovery. There is still much to assess and many decisions to make, but we will continue to share updates as plans become clearer. Thank you for standing with us, for your faith in what we spent our lives building, and for the hope you have given us. We will provide further updates as progress continues.

Our friend has kindly created this for us.
The recent bushfires have devastated many lives, including a cherished member of our community. Henry has lost his home and business, and any support can make a difference. Please consider donating or sharing to help him rebuild. Every contribution counts. Thank you! https://gofund.me/b77c0dddf
