Viewers around the country continue to open their hearts and wallets, with Nine’s FIGHTING FOR OUR FARMERS Drought Relief Appeal raising an astounding $3,268,449 in just one week.

Donations of all amounts are coming in from far and wide, with many callers leaving messages of heartfelt support. From schoolkids donating $5 pocket money, retirees giving $20 from their pension and everyday Aussies digging deep with $100 contributions, to big businesses bestowing up to $100,000, all donations are received with the utmost gratitude.

But more funds are still desperately needed, with all donations being administered by Rotary Australia and distributed to drought-affected farmers with the aid of the National Farmers’ Federation.

Donations can be made online via todayshow.com.au or by calling 1800 732 165 Monday to Friday from 5.30am to 8.00pm AEST, and Saturday and Sunday from 7.00am to 8.00pm AEST.

The ongoing fundraising campaign is set to culminate with the big FARM AID TELETHON on Monday, August 20, from 5.30am on Nine and 9Now.
