*Amigurumi Pattern Only!*

The bushfire devastation in Australia has had a serious impact on our country. Lives have been lost and communities have been destroyed.

Our Fire Fighters have been the White Knights in our battle against Mother Nature and her bushfires. Did you know that the New South Wales Rural Fire Service is the largest volunteer fire service in the world? They provide emergency and fire services to 95% of NSW. Without our Fire Service, we would be lost. These are our heroes; everyday Australians who sacrifice their lives for our safety. I decided to write this pattern to raise money for this amazing service.

Also, I cannot help but worry about the impact this must be having on our young children. Seeing all this devastation and smoke must be causing so much sadness and worry. If you decide to make this little Hero for your young one, I hope that it may bring some comfort <3
