If he needs this stuff urgently, I would suggest he gets in touch on Facebook and I'm sure that they can sort something out. It's a great group to join as well.

The scale of this devastation and suffering is enormous and very distressing. Our local Wildlife organisation has enough joey pouches, but I'd love to sew some for your nephew, if he still needs them.I'm also able to make bat wraps as well, if needed. Want to count me in, too?
