BLAZEAID - fixing fences and mending souls

Bushfire donations are still a fragile topic with a lot of our top charities having to justify their actions or as self appointed social media spokespeople will say, inaction. 

Whatever the case, there is a lot of friction surrounding the disbursement of donated money given to urgently assist the victims of the devastating bush fires that have ravaged Australia.

If you are now a wary donor may I suggest that you consider BlazeAid.

BlazeAid relies entirely on donations. All donations go directly to the work of providing support to rural landowners after natural disasters. Your donation to BlazeAid will help us pay for fencing tools and equipment, safety gear for volunteers, general day-to-day running costs, tool maintenance, etc.

Generally, property owners are required to provide their own fencing materials. BlazeAid prefers to buy tools and equipment from our donations, so that we can help on many properties, rather than a limited number.

However, sometimes property owners simply can’t afford to buy the fencing materials they need. Fencing is often uninsured or under-insured.

If you would like to donate to BlazeAid and have your money go to a specific basecamp, or for Posts & Wire for deserving farmers, simply let us know. You can use any of the donation methods outlined below.

When you send your donation (or notification of online donation), please tell us that you would like it to be “tied” to a particular area, or to purchase Posts &; Wire in a particular area.

You can also buy plain wire, 70-90-30 ringlock, or 5’6″ steel posts and drop them off at the basecamp for distribution.

(The distribution of donated fencing materials is decided by the Camp Coordinator, who also considers local advice.)

Your donation is very much appreciated, and will enable us to continue to help families in rural Australia affected by the devastation of natural disasters. Tax deductible receipts are given.

All fences are repaired or installed by volunteers who go directly to the property and stay on the land until the job is complete.
