What has been heartening, through this otherwise heartbreaking time, is to witness and be a part of the incredible community, who have come together to help each other whenever / however needed… from men and women rescuing people in dangerous flood waters and bucketing rain, in little tinnies or on jetskis, pulling desperate folk off the rooves of submerged houses… to cleanup crews going from house to house, business to business, doing the disgusting but necessary work of mucking out flooded premises… to people cooking meals for each other, setting up free soup kitches, giving out cool drinks, love and encouragment to other volunteers… to service hubs, health clinics and free support centres being set up for those that need it in the shell of broken town… this, this is what gives me hope. We are getting through it together – helping one another (…though, some better organised / easily accessed government help would be greatly appreciated too, ya know)
