Help Walter and Ruth rebuild their farm!
Donation protected
Hello!
Walter Braun and Ruth Enders have lived on a small rural property at Mt Cole (near Beaufort) for the last 35 years. Ruth is a master beekeeper and gardener/horticulturalist. Walter is a master stonemason who has, over many years, built beautiful stone walking tracks at Mount Arapiles (Pharos Gully and Central Gully tracks), the Grampians and other locations across Victoria and Australia.
The recent Buangor fire has destroyed much of the infrastructure on their Mt Cole farm. Fortunately, their house (just) survived. However, they lost all of their sheds, tools, water tanks, fences, beehives, garden and orchard, as well as some of their livestock.
Walter and Ruth's friends have set up this fundraiser to raise emergency funds to help them return to their home and to look after their surviving animals (a horse and several cows and goats).
Walter and Ruth urgently need the following:
- Water tanks to provided enough water for their animals, themselves and any saveable trees and plants.
- Fencing supplies to contain their animals.
- Basic tools to replace those destroyed by the fire.
- Building supplies to start rebuilding their sheds.
All money raised will go directly to Ruth and Walter.
Please consider giving generously - any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
