Please help people affected by bushfires in VIC, Australia

Hello everyone,

Fires have been ravaging many towns in the state of Victoria, Australia. At least 640 homes have been destroyed, and now 173 lives have been lost. The Victorian Premier has announced that at least 5000 people are now homeless:

The horrifying thing is that some of these fires were deliberately lit. Police have mentioned it will be days before the fires will end. This is just so terrible. You can donate to people experiencing bushfires in Victoria, Australia by going to these sites:
