Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is a Manitoba Day of Caring in support of
Wildfire Evacuees. Looking after our friends from Flin Flon or
Bakers or Cranberry Portage or Pukatawagan, Tataskweyak Cree Nation, Pimicikamak
Cree Nation. Here's the thing, there's lots of ways to
get involved. One, all the info, all

(00:21):
The links you need to support the Canadian Red Cross, 1031virginradio.ca. Two,
all donations today will be matched by the province and
the federal government. The devastation is real, the uncertainty is real.
What people are going through is super, super rough. This
is all my luggage and I got my dog here.

(00:44):
Like I just want to go home, you know. It
just happened so fast. And I think everything was just
incinerated in no time. I think the most sickening feeling
is not

Speaker 2 (00:53):
knowing. So far I've only had maybe 3 hours, 4
hours of rest since we left.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
The smoke was so bad, you know, you could barely
see 200 yards and You can text the word radio
to 20222, 20222, 20222.
That's a $10 donation instantly and again, that will be
tripled as all of these are being matched by both
the province and the feds. It was very hard and

(01:23):
there's lots of smoke, you couldn't even go out. Keeping
the family together was our priority and keeping calm was
the second. And it's uh really sad to see, you know, our,
our children having to uh sleep on floors.
I know there's a lot of people are feeling really,
really down. Uh, it looks like a war zone. We cry. Hey,

(01:45):
that's our home. I hope my town gets better. If
you are unable to make any monetary donations at this moment,
that's more than OK. If you are able to share
any of our messages on any of our social feeds,
that would be amazing. Share, share, share, and thank you
so much.
