In the fundraiser summary, Lady Campbell wrote: “[Thomas Markle] has been extremely generous with his time and money over the years, as I learned from the teachers at his daughter’s school, who couldn’t sing his praises highly enough.
“His kindness and generosity are well known in the film community, and I agree that, now that he has been rejected and abandoned by his daughter, those of us who want to show him solidarity and give him the recognition he deserves the actual situation, recipient of his generosity, will hopefully show him, through our contributions, however small, that there are still people in the world with good hearts, good values and good intentions.
