Prayers and Support
Today this has nothing to do with Wealthy Affiliate and our wonderful community but more to do with another community of over 80,000 people who all had to be evacuated due to a major forest fire in Northern Alberta Canada. It has been a harrowing experience for everyone there as the fire raged right through the city center. Only two ways out so it was pretty crazy.
Some of the pictures shared on Social Media and a few videos were very scarey. Many ran out of gas as the congestion was bad. They really had no time..........what do you do when you have are told you have 20 minutes to get out!! Everyone did. What a blessing but so many lost everything.
I just wanted to take a minute to share this today and also to thank all the support coming in from all over Canada and the US and other countries. West Jet one of our commercial airlines sent in planes to rescue people and animals! Big and small they all rode in the cabin to safety. I know all West Jet Employees are proud of their company. Also the firefighters and rescue personal and some who lost their homes in the midst of chaos.
We want all of Fort McMurray to know the world is sending help and as alone as you feel, you are not. 20% of the homes have been destroyed as far as they know today. Keep everyone in your thoughts if you can. Thanks WA community!!

Yes, I will keep them in my thoughts. I am in Australia and have been keeping up to date with the news. I have also sent an email to my Member of Parliament, to ask what assistance Australia is giving or can give! regards, Lisa
so awsome and thankyou. I do believe you offered to send firefighters. We have rain in their area now so that is so good. Thank you again.

I come a bit late here. Hope all is good now.
May God saves us all from these types of calamities.
Yes, that and the disasters at the hands of terrorists like in the UK this past weekend. So not necessary.
So sad. May God protect us from terrorists as well.
