**EDIT**
🌟 WOW GYMPIE, YOU ARE ALL AMAZING. Due to an overwhelming response, we are going to meet you all at the One Mile Soccer Fields at 12:30pm today to collect the items you wish to donate. We are so overwhelmed by your generosity🌟

❤️WE NEED YOUR HELP❤️
Yesterday we did a giveaway to help people in need. As much as we loved what we did, it showed that there are so many people in our community requiring small gestures like this.

We had an overwhelming amount of people messaging our business page asking for help. Their stories, quite frankly, hurt my heart. Majority of the people who messaged were embarrassed to ask for help. That made us even more sadder. So it got me thinking, how else can we help?

There were messages of suggestions that I’m going to put below, and I think as a community, we might be able to do even more great things to help people in various situations. Let us know what you think and we’ll get the ball rolling 🤗

Suggestions:
1. A Go Fund Me page to raise money to buy things people urgently need (if we went with this option receipts would be shown of items purchased)
2. Donations of the ‘basics’ to be distributed throughout the community (toiletries, towels, blankets etc)
3. Gift cards to places like Woolworths, Coles etc

For confidentiality and safety reasons we would not post photos of those people receiving the assistance but I’m sure we could find a way to show these items went to those in need 🤗

Please check on your elderly neighbours and family members 🙏
Heat exhaustion can be detrimental to their health 🥺
Ensure they have the following:
✅Fans or air conditioning.
✅Plenty of water.
✅Electrolytes (like hydralyte - unless they have a medical condition where they cannot take it).
✅A safe space, out of the sun, if they are an outdoors person.
✅Are suitably dressed (our elderly may have difficulty regulating their body temperature and may still be wearing cold weather clothing).
Please call 000 immediately if they are showing any heat exhaustion symptoms or are not their normal selves 🙏

It's going to be a hot one this week, so make sure you’re prepared for heatwave conditions.

🏠 Make your home ready. Close blinds and curtains and make sure you have an emergency kit on hand if the power goes out.

🤝 Look out for others who might need help, such as neighbours, the elderly, pregnant, or young children.

⛈️ Monitor the weather, check the forecast and plan your day.

🚗 Don't leave children or pets in parked cars under any circumstances.

📱Know who to call for help if needed.
