The Spurs' Patty Mills is from Australia. You know that. And you know that Australia is having devastating wildfires right now. CNN says "Millions of acres have been torched and entire homes have been swallowed by flames. More than 20 people have lost their lives. About half a billion animals have been killed in New South Wales by one estimate. And the country's summer is only just beginning." 2,700 firefighters are out there going up against the fire and three have died.
This is all HORRIFYING.
If you can stomach it, read more about the loss ("annihilation" is probably a better word) in the CNN article HERE.
Patty has been posting often on social media to raise awareness about what is happening there.
A GoFundMe account has been set up for those willing to help with relief efforts with Patty's seal of approval. If you can help, please CLICK HERE.
