In the worst bushfire season in memory, towns, villages and wildlife have been destroyed due to the current Australian bushfires.

According to a report by the BBC, so far twenty people have been killed (including three volunteer firefighters) and about six million hectares of bush, forest and parks have been burned in the Australian bushfires.

It is completely devastating to see the bushfires ravaging their way across the country, and due to the current climate, show no signs of stopping any time soon.

While watching such devastation happen from afar, many people can feel powerless - it is imperative to know that is not the case. The people of Australia are in danger, being told to flee their homes and not knowing who to turn to for help.

Here are just some of the ways you can help and support Australia at a time when it needs it most.
