The tragic story of Ashlee Good, a mother who lost her life while saving her baby from a stabbing rampage in a Sydney shopping center, has touched the hearts of many around the world. Good’s partner, Dan Flanagan, has spoken out for the first time since the horrific incident, expressing his gratitude for the outpouring of support his family has received.
Good, 38, was one of six people killed by Joel Cauchi at Westfield Bondi Junction on April 13. Her nine-month-old daughter, Harriet, was also injured in the attack. Authorities believe the stabbing was “mental health” related, with Cauchi targeting women.
Flanagan expressed his appreciation for the donations that have poured in through a GoFundMe page set up in Good’s name, raising almost A$850,000. He described the loss of his partner as “unimaginable” and thanked the countless people who have shown kindness and generosity to his family during this difficult time.
The attack, which took place at one of Australia’s biggest shopping centers, shocked the world. Witnesses described how Good sought help for her injured baby girl before succumbing to her injuries. Flanagan’s message on the GoFundMe page highlighted the impact Good had on so many people and the comfort he has found in their messages of support.
As the investigation into the incident continues, Flanagan extended his condolences to the other families affected by the tragedy. He acknowledged that their lives will never be the same and expressed hope that they receive the support needed to navigate such difficult times.
The community has rallied around the victims of the attack, with calls for increased mental health services to prevent similar acts of violence in the future. The heartbreaking loss of Good and the other victims serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together in times of tragedy and supporting those in need.
