Recently long time Main Arm resident Jim Nutter lost his home to a fire and received burns to his legs and feet. Jim has been in Brisbane where he received grafts on his burns and he is now back in Main Arm staying with his son Lotus and his family and is slowly getting back on his feet.

‘He’s home with us and in good spirits,’ said Lotus.

Family and friends have now banded together and are now raising money to help build a new cabin or studio for Jim to live in.

If you would like give him a helping hand you can buy tickets in the brilliant raffle they have put together.

As Jim has always loved to dance the night away there are of course a few festival tickets up for grabs including day passes for the Blues Festival and a ticket for the Earth Frequency Festival in February. There are also some amazing other prizes to be won from photo shoots, to drama classes, acupuncture and vouchers from Happy Herbs and Steam Funk Herbs in Uki to name a few.

You can pick up raffle tickets at the Mullumbimby Bookshop and the prizes will be drawn on New Years Eve.
