#Hayrunners Raffle - Win some Futurama Pop! Vinyls
An unfortunate picture.
Two things are infinite during Aussie summers - the number of times I'll complain about the heat, despite claiming to like the heat during the winter, and the struggles that Australian farmers will face. Days waiting for the rare November rain, sleepless nights stressing over how bills will be paid without a harvest. Our farmers have it tough. Some regions haven't seen rain for months. Unfortunately, hope for rain to someday fall on the cracked outback soil can only go so far.
When the going gets tough...
When the going gets tough, Aussies pull up their sleeves and help each other out. Whether during a flood in Queensland, a bush fire down south, or a cyclone in the tropics, natural disasters bring people together. Communities gather and donate what little they can spare. People volunteer their time or resources or simply offer a cup of coffee to their neighbours. These small actions show those who are suffering that there is a spark of hope somewhere on the horizon. These actions are a reminder that things get better, that rain may just one day come.
The #hayrunners initiative is aiming to raise $2500 AUD to provide a truck-load of hay for struggling farmers in New South Whales and Queensland. This goal will only be reached if our amazing little community comes together with the motive to make a difference.
How can I help?
Support posts in the #hayrunners tag. Enter #hayrunners competitions, or make a STEEM / SBD donation to @teamaustralia. Each bit counts, and there are already some amazing people in the #TeamAustralia space doing amazing things towards this important cause.
All liquid rewards from this post will be donated to @teamaustralia for the #hayrunners mission. I will also donate an additional 10% of my STEEM author rewards to @teamaustralia in the future. This donation will continue until it is announced that @teamaustralia has reached its goal of raising the amount needed.

Nice one. This could turn out to be a very interesting prize pool for the mega raffle.
Thanks, mate. I don't have a lot of items and had no idea what people would like. These seemed like a popular option.
I'm going to stock up on some more billion to give away in the future.
@jordan.white306, I gave you a vote!
If you follow me, I will also follow you in return!
Thanks for the contribution. I actually want all of those Futurama Pop! Vinyls! Looks like I'll need to get some tickets sorted..... Will these be raffled as a set or three individual prizes?
Hey scooter, I asked the other day and he said that they're to be raffled as a set.
Thanks for letting me know.
