Bushfire Recovery Fund for Jason Todd by Langtrees
Donation protected
Langtrees has set us this GoFundMe Campaign to help out a family very near & dear to us. Jason & his wife lost everything in the Australian Bushfires recently and we would love to help them out to get back on their feet. Jason is also an ADF Veteran.
Please help whether it's just $1 every donation will count.
Here is Jason's Story:
"My wife & I lost our house & everything we own in the bushfires that hit the far south coast of NSW over NYE to the 4th of January. It's been a pretty hard time for us both.
On the evening of Saturday the 4th I received a phone call from the police. “The fire got close to the house but it survived.” We were so elated. The next day we drove back home & what we saw, nothing could have prepared us for. The police had got it wrong. They had called the wrong person about the surviving house because there was quite obviously nothing left of where we had once lived. Everything was gone. Devastated, we walked around the blackened property, the garage that housed my 1977 C3 Corvette, collapsed, the Corvette was a burnt out shell, the chickens we all dead. Through what was left of the window to our bedroom you could see, nothing but ash. The fire was so hot that it melted the 22000 litre water tank too nothing but a puddle of plastic on the ground, and it was filled with water.
Fast forward to today, we sit in a small 3 room (not 3 bedroom, actually 3 rooms) cottage with 2 dogs and 3 cats, having spent weeks remembering the small things we’ve lost that meant so much, photos, gifts from grandparents, just the smallest things reducing us to a blubbering mess, my wife made me a chess board for my 35th birthday last year, I was a total inconsolable mess for hours after I remembered that.
Every day is difficult as we try to figure out what we do next. But we keep having people offering us help. Unfortunately, there isn’t much that can be done right now, we just wait for the insurance to say something, that way we might be able to move forward."
