Dearest YourLifeChoicers,
As many of you are aware, several regions across Australia are currently experiencing severe and devastating flooding.
Tragically, this crisis has already claimed lives, and numerous individuals and families have been displaced from their homes, seeking refuge in emergency shelters.
In moments like these, a community’s strength and compassion are more important than ever.
We want to take this opportunity to express our deepest sympathies to all members and to their families and friends who have been affected. Please know that our thoughts are with you, and we are sending our heartfelt support during this difficult time.
To offer meaningful assistance, we are committed to making a charitable donation to aid flood relief efforts, and we would like your help in deciding where these funds should go.
We invite you to comment below with the name of a charity you believe is making a significant impact in response to the floods. The charity receiving the most mentions will become the beneficiary of our collective support.
Furthermore, to amplify the impact, we will contribute $10 for every comment submitted in the comment section below, regardless of which charity is nominated. Each voice adds to the total, so your participation directly increases the support we’re able to provide.
Thank you for being part of this community.
Together, let us extend our compassion and stand in solidarity with those who need it most.
Warm regards,
The YourLifeChoices Team

i supported the Givit fundraiser recommended by Service NSW to provide food and essentials to those in nered due to the floods here in Taree area.
I often support Vinnies. They offer support to so many people and are a reliable charity.
I support the Salvation Army because they help in various ways.
I also support the Salvation Army because of all of their help.
Red Cross for me.
This is a wonderful thing for you to do. I nominate Red Cross.
I recommend LIONS, LCIF local area.
Salvation Army
I nominate the NSW Rural Fire service. They do amazing work for no reward and are always there in any emergency.
Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul, Blaze Aid, NSW CFAs / rural fire service
I’ve just donated to the Salvation Army, they do a lot to help those down on their luck.
What a wonderful thing you are doing! I nominate the Rural Fire Service.
Save the Children Fund Australia – the needs of children are rising due to poverty, abandonment, health, hunger, abuse, etc. They are our future and need support.
I looked online to see who was most likely to give a range of relief and support local people and the result was:
Key highlights of Red Cross’s positive reputation:
High Trust Levels:
Roy Morgan Research reports that the Red Cross has increased in trust over the last year and is currently one of the most trusted brands in Australia.
Global Humanitarian Focus:
Red Cross’s global reach and focus on disaster relief, conflict zones, and health issues contribute to its positive image.
Effective Emergency Response:
Red Cross is known for its prompt and effective emergency relief efforts, particularly in natural disasters and man-made crises.
Popular with Workplace Givers:
The Australian Red Cross is frequently chosen by individuals and workplaces who want to donate through platforms like Good2Give.
So I’m donating to them….
Samaritan’s Purse Australia are on the ground already assisting flood victims.
