Just when you think the outpouring of love for Australia couldn't be any more wonderful, **Glennon Doyle** and **Abby Wambach** bounce in with their positivity and compassion - and suddenly another $400,ooo is making it's way to the people who need it most.

The pair, known for their activism and philanthropy, recently announced their organisation [**Together Rising**](https://togetherrising.org/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) would be donating US$100,000 to bushfire relief charities across Australia.

"If your heart is breaking over the tragedy in Australia, please join with us in turning our collective heartbreak into effective action," **Glennon** wrote in an Insta post, asking her hundreds of thousands of followers to dig deep too.

And yes, the sisterhood pulled through.

Since then, **Together Rising** has collected more than US $330,000 (AU$400,000) in donations, with 100% of all funds being split between what **Glennon** describes as the "lesser-known organisations" rather than the major fire services:

> "In light of the fact that each of these excellent organisations will be heavily funded, Together Rising has decided the best use of your donations is to dive deep into lesser-known organisations that are doing tremendous and vital work on the ground and which face the possibility of being overlooked."

The organisations receiving the funds include **Koalas in Care,** a volunteer koala rescue service, **Vets for Compassion,** to support vets who are helping injured wildlife and **FoodBank Australia** which provides meals, formula and water to families impacted by the fires.

This week, **Bette Midler** announced she would be matching **Pink's** $500,000 donation whilst **the Hemsworths** and **Elton John** have each pledged a million dollars to support our firies and **Celeste Barber's** epic Facebook fundraiser has now hit over $50 million.
