Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it. Dumbledor.

Hey friends,

Guess what? I have just under a week left of my Dry July challenge! I’m SO close to the finish line, and proud to say that so far I've raised an amazing $246 for Ovarian Cancer Australia.

I'm really hoping to raise as much as I can to make an even bigger difference for people affected by cancer. I'd love it if you could help me and make a donation for a job well done!

Every donation I receive will help cancer patients and their families be more comfortable during an already difficult time.

Plus, if you make a donation before 10am Wednesday 28th July (AEST), you’ll have the chance to win 1 of 10 $100 JB Hi-Fi Vouchers*!

Simply head to my profile page to donate and leave a message of support: www.dryjuly.com/users/bruce-thiele

Thank you in advance - it’s a fantastic cause and your donation will make a real difference.

(A non-alcoholic) Cheers,
Bruce

The Budget also included significant expenditure upon the well being of women (and their children) navigating a pathway out of violent relationships and the family law system.

*Timor-Leste urgently needs our help*

Over the Easter weekend, a humanitarian crisis has unfolded in with cyclonic rain, storms and flash flooding causing destruction across the country. 34 people are reported dead while 10,000 others are displaced and in evacuation centres, increasing the already growing risk of a major outbreak.

Landslides and flooding have caused those in the mountain districts to become stranded with little to no access to basic necessities like food, drinking water and medical supplies. With the impending risk of disease, access to these necessities are of the utmost concern.

*What can you do?*

If you’re able to give, we would appreciate any and all amounts in order to provide these essential supplies for our colleagues and friends in Timor-Leste.
