“We had a beautiful chat with a lovely Red Cross lady at the relief centre yesterday and it was just about calming us down and making sure that we were safe. It’s paramount that we have people like Australian Red Cross because you’ve got people that can’t do this alone. We support Red Cross wherever we can and I’m so glad that we do because it’s reasons like this that matter the most.”
— Amanda, a bushfire survivor from Victoria
