For those of you who have been paying attention to the news over the last couple of months, Australia has been on fire since September, the wildfires are out of control and incredibly hard to contain and they are continuously getting worse! Over 500 million of Australia's wildlife has been killed and 26 people that we know of. A couple of weeks ago the temperature in Sydney reached a record breaking 48.6 degrees and was deemed the hottest place on the earth on that day!
Since the amount of devastation that the fires have caused has been brought into the limelight, millions of people all across the world have been trying to come up with ways to help support Australia in this time of need.
Balenciaga have started selling Koala hoodies and T-Shirts on their website as it has been stated that over 30% of Koalas have been killed during the wildfires, they also released a statement on their instagram staying that 100% of the profits will go towards helping Australia tackle these fires.
Other fashion houses such as Gucci and Saint Laurent have also donated money towards the cause!
One that took the internet by storm was 20 year old sex worker, Kaylen Ward, who announced on Twitter that she would send a nude picture to each person who donated at least 10 dollars to any of the fundraisers she'd listed below and a conformation of the donation needed to be sent to her before any exchange would happen, in order to help raise money for Australia. Its been over a week now since she posted that tweet and articles state that she has raised over 1 million dollars which I think we can all agree is pussy power at its finest.
Sadly, Australia is still burning but their are things me and you can do that'll help make a small difference. Even the smallest donation with make a change!
