Thanks to the generosity of over 100 donors, The Echo flood donation appeal has topped $25,000 which is already being directly donated to a range of grassroots organisations, with zero deductions.
The GoFundMe site is still live here, and will be for some time.
To help push things along, here is a new short film from Cloudcatcher Media showing the recent flood impact on Lismore, Wardell and beyond, from the air and from the ground.
The film-makers say please share this with those beyond the area who don’t understand the magnitude of this disaster, and anyone who might be able to help:
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
