Update posted by Jill Ashmore

TONY AND ROCKY ARE STILL TRYING TO HOLD ON IN THEIR HOTEL ROOM . THE FIRES CONTINUE TO BURN ALL AROUND THEM AND A NEW ONE HAS STARTED TO THE NORTH OF THEM NOW TOO . AT THE MOMENT WE ARE JUST ABOUT COVERING WHAT TONY IS PAYING OUT EACH DAY AND NEED YOUR SUPPORT AND DONATIONS TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT . TONY IS VERY SCARED FOR HIMSELF AND HIS LITTLE DOG AND THIS IS THEIR BEST WAY TO STAY SAFE AT THE MOMENT AS ALL THE EVACUATION CENTRES ARE FULL AND THE HOTEL WILL EVACUATE IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY . PLEASE CONTINUE WITH YOUR SUPPORT SO TONY CAN HOLD ONTO HIS ROOM AND KEEP HIMSELF AND ROCKY SAFE ... THANK YOU XX

Hi everyone , Tony and Rocky are still in their hotel room , THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL WHO DONATED TO MAKE SURE THEY STAYED SAFE !!! Thanks go out to Renee , Mimi , Hope and Tamra for your recent donations . At the moment we are just about covering what Tony is paying out for his room every day . He has made reservations at the hotel right through till next weekend to make sure he holds onto his room . So long as we can keep getting in the $75 to cover what his room is costing him and the hotel doesn't evacuate then he should stay safe . Anything you can donate will be a big help in keeping them safe and every dollar donated is a dollar nearer covering another night .. even just $10 or $5 WILL HELP SO MUCH IF YOU CAN DONATE IT

I keep looking on the internet for the latest updates on the fires near Tony ... trying to follow what is happening from here in the UK . From what I can gather the area marked on maps for the fire nearest to their hotel seems to be staying pretty much the same ... the one on the other side of them is huge and seems to get bigger but they are saying there's a little bit of containment of it now . It had me worried when Tony said that there was a new fire had started today , and I needed to find out where it was in relation to Tony and Rocky . From the report I found its to the north of them and further inland so hopefully they will be OK from that one . I do have to try and look for updates every time I come online though and feel so bad for all those whose homes are just a pile of ashes now ...... I truly cant imagine that happening and having to start all over from nothing . Looking at it from our tiny island here it just seems so massively devastating and unbelievable . Praying none of our supporters are caught up in it too and heartbroken for everyone who is .
Tony as you can imagine is extremely stressed and worried and terrified . Its been a busy few days for me here with family things happening this weekend and being on training all day today , but I have kept looking in on Tony when I can . We have spoke briefly on camera but he is so very stressed and struggles to even cope with that for long before it all just gets too stressful . I asked him if he wanted me to pass on a message from him to everyone tonight .. and he typed .. What message I'm gonna die here 😭😭😭I just wanna kill myself 😭😭😭😭 .... He needs to get food for Rocky but says he feels like he cant walk but I know for his little dog he will walk and will make sure he eats . If anyone can help by placing him an order for food for himself or Rocky to be delivered to his hotel room please pm me or e ,mail me and we can set something up ... both would be a big help to them . Thank you so much to everyone out there helping .... I have told Tony there are a lot of us who are doing all we can to make sure they stay safe .. but he is in a very scary place right now and its hard for him to see that I think . He feels extremely unsafe at the moment and very worried that they could get evacuated again . If that happened , the only other hotel in his area that takes pets costs around $100 a night ... I've a feeling he will try and head there . I've tried to explain that a taxi to one further away that is cheaper would be better but his mind just thinks no a taxi that far is going to be too much . I will try and explain again if it happens but he will be even more panicked and just run for the one that's nearest I think .. so we need to try and be prepared for that too ... either a long taxi ride or an expensive room if he gets evacuated again . We do also have some of us ready to get in touch with the emergency services to get him out if necessary too ... like we were last time he had to evacuate . Tony's answer though is just to pray he dies and to say I'm not hearing him and getting more upset when I talk about keeping him safe ... but we would do it if we had to .

The important thing right now is that we keep covering the $75 for Tony's room every day so the extra that is in his account stays there and we try and build that up a bit so he is covered if he has to evacuate again . Please can we at least try to get in that $75 tonight to cover his room , if we can manage $100 that would be even better . Is there anyone that maybe hasn't donated yet who could spare $5 or $10 tonight for Tony and Rocky ? even just that bit given by 10 people could really make such a difference tonight ... can you be one of those 10 ? THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU DECIDE YOU CAN XXXX

Please if anyone else can help get this extra in tonight by making a small donation that would be great .Even just $5 or $10 will help and the best way to send it is using [email protected] on Pay Pal and sending it using the family and friends option . This means no fees will be taken off your donation before Tony gets it and that you can donate less than the minimum amount on the fund raiser if you need to .
There is also this fund raiser you can use to donatehttps://goget.fund/2AT4ILx but if you donate this way a fee will be taken off by both Pay Pal and the fund raiser before Tony gets your donation . For this reason there is also a minimum donation on there of $10 .
Sharing the fund raiser on social media anywhere you can is always appreciated too and can bring in new donations .

TONY AND ROCKY ARE BY NO MEANS TOTALLY SAFE ... THE FIRES ARE STILL RAGING AND ITS NOT FAR FROM WHERE THEY ARE . A CHANGE OF DIRECTION AND THEY COULD BE IN GRAVE DANGER AGAIN AND EVACUATING AGAIN . WHAT TONY IS TRYING TO DO THOUGH IS STAY WHERE HE IS NOW AND IN HIS ROOM FOR THE TIME BEING . WE ARE SO VERY VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING BAND OF PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT US AND HELP US . IT TRULY IS SUCH A LIFE SAVER TO TONY AND ROCKY ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCIES LIKE THIS . PLEASE HELP MAKE SURE TONY IS COVERED IF HE DOES SUDDENLY HAVE TO LEAVE THIS HOTEL TOO AND GO FURTHER AFIELD OR TO THE MORE EXPENSIVE HOTEL . HIS MONEY GOES DOWN EVERY DAY AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE GET SOMETHING IN EACH DAY TOO TO COVER THIS SO THAT HE CAN STAY READY IF THERE IS ANOTHER EMERGENCY EVACUATION . THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR EVERYTHING XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
