Lets support Volunteer FireFighter Pete Ottley and his family

To all the Fire Brigade volunteers, St John, Fire and Emergency who have called, messaged, or sat down for a yarn - thank you! Hearing your own stories and knowing I’m not alone in this has meant the world to me. What we do as volunteers isn’t for the glory, it’s for our communities. And to be part of a team that shows up, no matter what, to help others get home safe... that’s something truly special. The work we do matters and it makes a difference. Thank you for looking after me, for protecting me and for letting me know that it’s okay to feel this way.

To our amazing wider community—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness, your care and your generosity have been overwhelming. The support we’ve received has truly helped carry us through.

To everyone who donated to the Givealittle page, I can’t thank you enough. Every contribution has made a difference and it’s allowed me to focus on healing and finding my feet again. It’s something I’ll never ever forget.

I’m working on getting better and once I do, I look forward to catching up with as many of you as I can - and being one of those people who helps others through tough times, just like you did for me.

Thank you!
