As a research scientist myself who used to work in TBI research at a public hospital, I would still rather not have someone like EL attending these events. Why not bring in some of the researchers. I gave my life to this field for years,
tit pay, long hours, dealing with crap facilities day in, day out trying to do our best and begging and pleading our richer private hospital counterparts to donate to us their old equipment, spent hours upon hours writing out grant requests. I would have LOVED to have been invited to an event like this.
If EL really believes in the foundation she could have offered her seat to someone who dedicates their life to research and then in an act of altruism she could have posted about it (or even boasted she gave her seat up) and then also donated and shared a link to donate. Instead she used this opportunity to squeeze herself into a dress that is too small to talk about some
bleeping toilet spray and sashay around Prahran and flirt with Milzy. Yuck.
I bet she hasn't donated a dime either the cheap
bleep.
So
@dimfluencer , there are plenty of other charities you can donate to and you should only donate where you feel comfortable
Tina should probably be a little more invested in who her donors are if they are going to affect her fundraising.
