To All André Rieu Fans World Wide

The Fires in Melbourne Australia
To All André Fans Around The World

Our Australian fans and friends are experiencing a huge disaster and
we are putting this up here for any fans that would like to help.

You can go to the link below and donate with your credit card to The Red Cross in Australia. They have stated that 100% of their dontations for the fires are going TO the fires!

I just donated on it and it was very quick and easy and they
send you an instant official receipt in your email.

  1. Thank you Sue for posting this as it seems Andre Rieu fans become one heart when supporting other fans in time of tragedy.

  2. Will there be any challenges converting US dollars? Will they have to pay fees on the Australia end that might take a big bite out of a donation? I think using Pay Pal may eliminate that concern...

  3. Sue and I both have donated this evening to the Australian Red Cross.
    I copied this from Sue's e-mail---
    "they are taking no money out of the donations (for admin.) 100% is going to the fires."
    There are several ways to donate --Wire, Western Union among others, but are pricey. PayPal is another option.
    AUSTRALIA DOES NOT ACCEPT INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS FROM THE U.S.

    Donating is very easy and anything that you can spare will be put to good use and much appreciated.
