Don't be afraid to ask for help!

All of our heartfelt messages of support reach out to all the people of North Queensland via personal contact, social and other forms of media alike. Many of us have family, friends and/or colleagues in the region. We wish every one of you all the best in the coming weeks and months through the cleanup and rebuilding process with your health, strength and insurance claims.

Stories are emerging of people and community groups rallying together to overcome the odds and out of heartache and despair we see people and their communities uniting to help each other.

I recall the first flood cleanup I was involved in as a young fellow, recovering cattle, clearing dams, fixing fences and cleaning sheds, equipment and vehicles. My brother in law and neighbors lost a lot of their prime dairy cattle. An industry group reached out to all their members and many farms donated 1 animal and a number of drivers donated their time & trucks to deliver them in the weeks after the fences were repaired.

Exhausted, covered in sweat and mud, I clearly remember the overwhelming emotions of elation, humanity and hope as strangers turned up to help us, new friendships were forged and those trucks rolled down the driveway to restore the livelihood of dairy farms that had been in families for many generations.

I urge you, if you are in a position to provide any assistance, ‘even sharing a story’, please do so, as it’s amazing how even the little things can provide hope and the motivation to keep people going. From those of us who may not physically be able to help this time, keep it up, our thoughts are with you! https://www.vinnies.org.au/donate?gclid=Cj0KCQiAzKnjBRDPARIsAKxfTRCWRsKsRSzq7K_oEdlphS0GqKDu6mbwu_qdPsAga7yjdc2Cc3tHhNYaAi4CEALw_wcB#!state=qld&appeal=185
