Thanks everyone that made donations to this fund to Help Stu & Rhi get their lives back together after the fire ... it is a small help but a great help! xxx

From Rhi & Stu: Thank you to all of you have supported us so generously with this spontaneous crowdfunder that Megan set up for us, it is incredible and is going to really help us rebuild our lives. We are still overwhelmed about starting from absolute scratch to rebuild our entire homestead from rainwater tanks to veggie garden to fruit trees to a beautiful home, but we are also excited by the prospect of creating a greener and stronger home that is climate resilient and adaptable to a fast changing future. We are so deeply grateful to you all

Update from Rhi: Seeing the burnt glass as still whole, we have so many thank yous to give because our cup overfloweth with all the love and support coming our way. You are right, the trauma and devastation is unimaginable and leaves you raw and bare boned to the world. But the outpouring of love has held us and given us the space to mourn and the impetus to smile again. So much gratitude to all of you who have held us in your thoughts, sent love, practical stuff and acts of kindness our way! Every bit helps! Thanks

This from Rhi..."It is all so incredibly surreal and everyone is asking us how they can help and we don't have the answers yet. We managed to save all our animals, some journals, photos, some clothes and the hard drives with more photos and back up. The rest is all gone as you'll see in the photos. We are going to have to start from scratch and release all the stories and sentimentalities of family heirlooms and things with houding. Right now we are safe and we have a place to stay with our menagerie of animals and that is a start"
