Bushfire Disaster

Does anyone know Michael Shepherd, a talented furniture designer/maker/restorer in Toodyay, Western Australia.?
His home and contents along with his workshop and all his tools and equipment were totally destroyed in the recent bushfire disaster that claimed up to 40 homes in Toodyay.
He must be devastated.
Does anyone have any suggestions for helping him out?
I have emailed him and will update any news from him.
Here is his website.

I don't know him personally, I was just following links about the fire because my wife's family live there.
Can we help?
