Bushfire Crisis, Recovery Fund
We need your help! There is a state of emergency in Australia.
It's not business as usual here. Australia is suffering from the most catastrophic bushfire in recorded history. So, we’ve started a gofundme page to help send funds where they are needed most.
❤➡If you can please donate just $5 $10 or $20 dollars it would be greatly appreciated⬅❤
In all of human history, It has never been easier to raise funds and distribute capital to where it is needed. In the palm of your hands you literally have the power to change lives at the push of a few buttons.
As Australian landscape photographers, we travel the country documenting the beauty that our country has to offer. To see our beautiful home ablaze is heartbreaking and terrifying.
We hope to raise $22,000 to donate to 8 different charities around the country. By donating with us, we hope to make it easy for you to donate to all these charities in one go. We take custodianship of your money very seriously, we are open to feedback and to other donation ideas.

Why should you donate?
Here's why:
