Help buying tools/essentials, clearing huge trees.

Donation protected

Hello.
I lost everything in the fires in Victoria Australia in the Mallacoota fires: house, shed of tools, double garage, beautiful garden and all my possessions including 1600 albums I used on my Dr DJ ( see fb page) Community radio program.
I assist running a charity for a Tibetan Monastery and sponsor a Monk and sell goods to raise $ for the charity. All money goes to the charity.
I’ve worked and volunteered with Youth for 25 years, in AOD and community development as well as social justice issues when my health allows.
I have also sponsored the injured wildlife centre on a fortnightly basis for 5 years. The centre seen on TV with young Paddy Boyle collecting injured native wildlife from the bush and taking them to the centre.
I’ve cardiac disease, chronic migraine, acute chronic migraine, acute chronic sinusitis, fibromyalgia, Ménière’s disease,  depression, PTSD amongst other conditions.
I cannot clear my block and have no essential possessions and need help with these things once assessors have had a look. I feel so isolated, alone, vulnerable, but so terribly alone and then I have the knockers. People who’ve abused me. People I thoughtwould support me but no I am alone  so very alone.
 I am really struggling and hoping I can get  some assistance through this platform.
No one knows what this disaster is like until one has experienced it. This has torn my identity away and brought out the deepest darkest side of me and others I thought never existed. I feel hopeless, useless, completely inept and I feel like someone else having a bad dream. I wake every morning thinking oh great another day until a few minutes go by and I remember, I remember that morning of the fire and that afternoon when I snuck up the road to check my property and there was nothing standing except the head of my Buddha statue. Nothing else was left nothing.  I need helpwith everything. Sure I have insurance but it’s all the things insurance doesn’t cover and it’s all the essentials I need until insurance pays out. Assessors won’t be even able to do their job for another 4 weeks minimum. Then I think of every other victim who have lost everything in these fires and suddenly I’m not alone. Many other people are in the same position as me. People who have also lost everything just like me. I thankful I'm still alive although sometimes I think it’s better I wasn’t but I’m here and have to try to move forward. A difficult prospect when I have so many health issues but moving on with baby steps seems doable. Thank you to you all.
Many blessings to you all.
Sincerely yours,
Philip Counsel,
