Renee is a Central West Mum who is well loved and respected in our community. Renee is a single parent and has recently lost her 18 year old son in a tragic accident. Renee is a single mum and has been fiercely independent since the boys were little supporting her family financially and emotionally completely on her own. They now face the unimaginable journey of trying to live whilst their son and brother was tragically taken from them. Any donation would be so gratefully accepted to be able to relieve the financial burden of life whilst trying to properly grieve the unimaginable. Please donate to the Go Fund Me page to help Renee Dempsey here.

Recent testing of the Belubula River in the Central West, the environmental habitat of Platypus and Murray Cod has uncovered a toxic cocktail of chemicals, placing these iconic and much loved Australian animals at risk!
The testing was undertaken by the Cadia Community Sustainability Network (CCSN), which was established by community members to safeguard the economic, social and environmental future of the region. The CCSN is urgently calling for donations to undertake further testing to understand the level of contamination.

“The Belubula River is a unique gift of nature. I have growing concerns that I am watching a unique and healthy river slowly and silently become contaminated. I often wonder – who cares about rivers? Industry? Government? To me – it is the community. I encourage more people to join this community effort to help protect this beautiful river. There is still time to help – it is not too late!”
The CCSN is urgently raising $50,000 to test the Belubula and its tributaries between Carcoar and part of the way to Canowindra. In conjunction with Assoc. Professor Dr. Ian Wright from UWS and other leading ecology experts, we aim to map the level of contamination in the Belubula River and determine the biological impact on our wildlife.
🌟 Donating $50 will cover the cost of one hydrocarbon sample
🌟 Donating $150 will cover the cost of a total heavy metal water test
🌟 Donating $250 will cover the cost of one PFOS test
🌟 Donating $450 will cover the cost for PFOS, hydrocarbon and heavy metals
This research will help to protect our iconic wildlife and the NSW river system for generations to come.
We CAN make a difference…. together.
