| Louise's house after the fire |
Late last month, my dear friend Louise's house and artist studio was raised to the ground. Thankfully she wasn't home but she lost EVERYTHING, except her beloved old deaf and blind dog, Kimba. Louise has been surviving off an invalid pension due to her painful rheumatoid arthritis and doing what art work she can to keep her creative spirit alive. This fire has come as a terrible blow to her as the property was, regrettably, not insured. My friend Louise has always given of herself to help others. She has ridden a Postie bike from Brisbane to Darwin collecting money for underprivileged children in Cambodia. Only a couple of years ago, she arranged for a collective of women to work at her home and we all prepared birthing kits for Cambodian women so their birthing experience would be a safe and hygienic one. Louise has always given so much of herself to others so now l am asking her friends and mine and the greater community, please support Louise to get back on her feet.

As Louise has lost EVERYTHING, we are asking you do donate what you can as Louise has to start again from scratch to rebuild her home and her life, not an easy task for anyone to do.
Thank you to everyone for your generosity, good wishes and love, Louise is overwhelmed and humbled
