As you would be aware from the news our local Post Office was on Saturday morning burnt down along with the owner's residence. The owner Brian, a local firefighter, was called out to an earlier fire elsewhere. Apparently the earlier fire was lit as a diversion. The five balaclava clad criminals invaded their home and business in a grab for cash and viciously attacked his vulnerable wife; and then left her to die. They have lost everything and have been deeply traumatized. Two lovely people whose lives will never be the same. We are a small community on North Stradbroke Island and as a resident who spoke to these people nearly every day I feel compelled to do something for them as it breaks my heart. Please donate to help them re-build their shattered lives to some degree of normality.

My daughter Qamar told me about your tragedy. I am so sorry. No one deserves that, especially you. I recall with fondness my visit to your post office in March and wish you a speedy recovery.
