While you are watching this announcement, the St Vincent de Paul Society is working in the fire devastated areas of our country.
Searing white heat and screaming flames have lit up the countryside with death and destruction.
Quite frankly, if you could see it, it's a hell on earth.
Men, women and children desperately need your help.
We can take your help to them.
We implore you to take your money or cheque to your nearest St Vincent de Paul store.
If you don't know your nearest store, we exhort you to look us up in the phone book.
We promise that as soon as you make your donation, we will put it to work immediately and urgently
to help the suffering, the homeless men, women and children who are the victims of one of our nation's greatest disasters.
Right now, not tomorrow, we'd really need your help to help others.
