Desperate Need for Help

Wildlife rescuers have estimated close to a MILLION native animals have been affected by the bushfires!

The Help for Wildlife response team who are actually based in the vicinity where the Kinglake/ Healesville fires occurred are on standby waiting to enter the foreground when safe to rescue injured wildlife.  They already have a number of animals in care at this early stage and are expecting many more needing help.
 
They desperately need, medical supplies such as, silverzine cream, non stick dressings, soft bandages, vet wrap, Saline, disinfectant/clorhexidine ,syringes, pain relief and antibiotics. Also needing feed such as hay to provide food for starving wildlife and donations for fuel to carry out the extensive search and rescue needed to help these animals.  Notably kangaroos and wallabies found in abundance in this area can take months to recover and require a great deal of dressings and medication during this time.
