Queanbeyan Flood Appeal JKS:D

PLEASE DIG DEEP PEOPLE
Torrential rain hit Queanbeyan in the early hours of Wednesday 8th
December 2010.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, flannies soaked,
woollen trackies sagging, muttering ‘Faaackinell’.
Flood waters devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of
damage, $10 of that at Karabar alone.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals
were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.
The Queanbeyan Age reported that hundreds of residents were confused
and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that
something interesting had happened in Queanbeyan .
One resident – Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Smith, a
15-year-old Mother of 5 said ‘It was such a shock, my little
daughter Chardonnay-Mercedes came running in to my bedroom crying.
My youngest two
Joachim and River slept through it all.’
Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and
carried on as normal with a 95.7 % saturation rate .
The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of
Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals
particularly those at Jerrabomberra also known as Lower Tralee or East Machonachie.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found
large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care
Cards, Jewellery from Kmart and Bone China from Big W.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for
those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.
Clothing is most sought after – items most needed include:
flannelette Shirts, tight blue jeans or spandex, singlets (blue &
white) white sport
socks, Ugg boots and any other items usually sold in Priceline or
The Reject Shop.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: Microwave meals, Baked
Beans, Ice cream, Chips, Fizzy drinks.
Donations of $15.00 will be taken to buy a packet of winny blues.
