The partner of a woman who was fatally stabbed while trying to save her baby girl has thanked the community "from the bottom of my heart" for their overwhelming support.
Ashlee Good, 38, was one of six people killed in a stabbing incident at Westfield Bondi Junction on April 13.
Her nine-month-old daughter Harriet was left fighting for her life in an intensive care unit.
A GoFundMe page launched to support Harriet's future care has raised nearly $1 million.
Today, Harriet’s father, Dan Flanagan, expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support his family has received.
"The support, kindness, and generosity we've received in the wake of our unimaginable loss has been beyond words," Flanagan said.
"There are so many people to thank for their support, strength, and kindness over the past months – from emergency service workers to doctors, nurses, family, friends, and kind strangers."
Flanagan said nothing could ease the pain of losing his partner but said he was deeply appreciative of the help they had received.
He added: "Our lives will never be the same, and I wish every one of you your own strength and hope you're getting the support required to navigate such incomprehensible and difficult times."
"The day our family of three became a family of two will never make sense to me, but countless people – including every single one of you who wrote messages and donated through this page – have shown me that while tragic things do unfortunately happen, there is more good in this world than bad."
He concluded with a promise: "I want to make one public promise to each of you: that the kindness and generosity you've shown us will never be forgotten."
"From the bottom of my heart – thank you. With our sincere appreciation and love, Dan and Harriet."
