We didn’t have enough sleeping bags last night & had people coming up to us with wet socks looking for dry ones. People are getting desperate as the winter is coming in. We had 300 meals & lots of other food items. It feels like we can’t keep up with the demand.
Congratulations to Baby Hayley who was in a big rush to arrive and couldn't wait for Mum to get to hospital.
Firefighter/Paramedics Liam and Craig assisted Mum with the delivery at home. Everyone is doing well. #DFBaby
