wird, hole ich mal ein posting von dort hierher in die NG. Es geht darum,
dass die langjährige Autorin von ST Fan Fiction, Heather Smyth, und ihr Mann
bei einem der fürchterlichen Brände in Australien dieser Tage ALLES bis aufs
blanke Leben verloren haben!
Es wird namens des Patrick Stewart Networks
http://www.thepsn.org/psn/HelpHeather.asp um Hilfe gebeten. Am
schnellsten/einfachsten geht es per PayPal (ich habe es vorhin gleich
ausprobiert; es funktioniert) - und jeder Euro hilft!

Long term member a.s.c author (and PSN member) Heather Smyth, who
lives in Kinglake Victoria, has just borne the brunt of the savage
bushfires ripping through the state.
Overnight, the fire which looked as if it would spare the town, swept
back with a wind change and Heather and her husband, Mike had just
enough time to save their lives (and their dog's) by driving through
the fire. The township of Kinglake has been destroyed along with many
lives.
Heather and Mike have lost everything - their house and workshop and
all their personal belongings, including Heather's massive PS and TNG
collection. Everything has been burnt to the ground.
Heather and Mike are not insured.
The village and outlying areas has a population of approximately 2,000
and 37 people have now been declared dead. Heather told another member
that up to 400 are still missing. For a small community that is a
devastating toll.

get some of the necessities to help them get back on their feet,
