Over $300K donated in 24 hours
More than three hundred thousand dollars was donated to Save the Children Australia in less than twenty four hours after Helen Haines' family directed well-wishers to the charity.
“It's completely humbling for us that Helen's husband and team have suggested that some of this goodwill associated with this tragedy that's occurred might be directed towards Save the Children.”
Tinkler: generosity reflects Haines' values
Save the Children Australia chief executive Mat Tinkler said the donations reflect Helen Haines' known commitment to helping disadvantaged people and her generous support of the charity.
“It doesn't surprise us that that's the instinct of Helen's team, that we know how generous she is as a supporter, how keenly she wants to make a difference for people who are disadvantaged and need our support.”
Tinkler recalls Haines as compelling speaker
Mat Tinkler met Helen Haines on a parliamentary delegation to Fiji in twenty twenty two and saw her speak at a dinner last week, describing her as eloquent and moving.
“She is such an eloquent and beautiful speaker and she just, she nailed the mood. She won a lot of fans that evening.”
