Gympie has by living example, once again, shone its light on what’s possible when the community come together in heart.
The floods uncovered what is really important in our day to day lives. Clean water, fresh air, a warm/cool shelter, fresh food, and not to mention, our neighbours.
The Long Flat Flood Relief Hub is hosting a Fashion Parade Fundraiser this Saturday 23 July. There has been a very generous amount of clothes donated and the Hub decided to raise funds for the flood affected. This coming Saturday’s fundraiser, will be an afternoon of fun and heartfelt love from the community.
The Mighty Mary equalised everyone in her path and brought back the heart and soul in the community and it was on display to the world. The Hub quickly filled up with the generosity of everyday people just wanting to help in some way. Donations started from up north as far as Cairns and Townsville, all the way down to Gympie.
The Fashion Fundraising Day is raising money and awareness to help the flood affected go home, whilst bringing the community together to show support. All money raised will go directly to them.
Why not have a bit of fun, and enjoy a cuppa with friendly faces while beautiful ladies showcase fabulous fashion? There are even beautiful wedding dresses for sale and bargains galore. Everyone is invited to share their gifts and talents in assisting the community move beyond trauma. With a vision of a “Being Well” Centre, we can tackle issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, domestic violence and homelessness.
Good people in a good town with good values! For the people, by the people.
