Ervin and Belinda's phoenix fund
Donation protected
Much loved Lobethal creatives Belinda Broughton and Ervin Janek have lost almost everything in the bushfire on the 20th of December 2019 and you can help.
Their house and studio are gone, leaving nothing but rubble, twisted iron and a useless set of keys. Escaping to safety with only their citizenship documents, camera, computers and a treasure trove of digital poetry and photography, they have lost everything else: art, tools, 30-years of journals, the potato peeler and pyjamas...everything that makes a life and the means to live it.
Only Belinda could keep her dark sense of humour at such a time, describing the devastating loss as an "exceptionally good decluttering" and a tabla rasa - clean slate.
If you are moved to help Ervin and Belinda on the long road to recovery they will gratefully receive donations big or small, which will go direct to their bank account less a small gofundme commission for admin.
Insurance companies aren't known for their responsiveness and rebuilding will take time....lots of time. A bit of help now will go a long way!
And when you're done - share and spread the word.
Thank you!
