Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Hi all,
I know these boards are for endo talk but we need your prayers here in Australia. We're a nation that doesn't comprise of many states (6 states and 2 territories) and a population of Appox 21 million.
We're currently in a natural disaster, 5 states are expected to be devestated by flash flooding, the state of Queensland currently 75% + underwater, there is no electricity, homes being destroyed families are dieing. Where these famalies are being evacuated too are now having to evacuate from there. The weather has started to cover the top of NSW with flash flooding and going underwater, the state I am in has been warned to prepare for flash flooding with 30 millimetres per hour set to fall. South Australia has also been hit with this devestation of flooding and and it set to go down to Tasmania. While Western Australia is bracing itself for a cyclone. Currently the main focus is on QLD where the brunt of this devestation is hitting, by the end of the week most of Australia is set to be effected in some way by flash flooding and cyclones in both WA and northern QLD.
Our entire country is being affected by this natural disaster so please keep us in your prayers, if possible ask around for disaster relief efforts being made in your local community, this is going to be one of the worst if not the worst natural disaster in Australian history.
Here are some things to show you whats been happening.

We're alright, my state has started flooding but not near me. Also Rebel is safe too :)

I will continue to pray and I believe in the strength of prayer.
Thank you for sharing. This is so sad and I'm so sorry to hear about this. Be safe!!!!!
Thanks everyone keep the prayers coming!
Mums calling the 1300 number to look for my nan's cousin she is in tawoomba. Urgh, I hope it ends soon!

We're not out of the dark yet, the clouds have moved down over Vic and SA- continue to pray, while we have blue skyes at the moment in QLD the water is estimated to take days to leave and thats not including the expected rainfall that could come over tomorrow and saturday.
The devestation and destruction is estimated to be worse both financially and structurally then hurricane katrina, to put it in perspective: Hurricane Katrina caused around 240,000 square kilometres of flooding.. whereas QLD floods are currently covering around 1,000,000 square kilometres, this isnt including the north of NSW and the flooding in Vic and SA. It's not a comparison of the disaster just a perspective of the mass it's covering, it's easy to say "it's enguling most of our states" when people around the world don't realise how big these states are.
Right now it's the man power of the Aussie keeping the hope alive, our govt. isnt giving enough money to this disaster (only 1 million federally and each state is giving between 500,000- 1 million), currently we have RAISED as a nation 35 million, and this is for the rebuilding of a disaster that will take YEARS to recover from. Our govt is giving financial aid, but what people don't realise is not everyone will get the aid they need for for the time they need, and some wont get aid at all - I witnessed this in 2009 floods that were declared a natural diaster, my brother got nothing in aid due to his income. We are a strong nation and we don't mind lending a hand where we can, but now we need help from others, we are going to suffer from this, it is without a doubt going to be one of if not the worst natural disasters in Australian history. If you know anyone in your community looking to help donate to this appeal, please direct them to;

This is a govt. website so you won't get scammed or frauded!
I must stress also, this isnt over, the weather has moved south now, we're yet to know its extent n SA and VIC.
Our current death toll is 13 with over 70 missing, we've been told to brace for a death toll up to 40 or even more.
On a personal note, Rebel7 and I both need prayers for our families, Rebel has an uncle feared drowned in the floods and my mother is yet unable to contact or locate our family in QLD.
Continue to pray! and thankyou for your prayers already :) you don't know how much we appreciate it!
