The most generous man in Wellington

Stuff reports:

He donated $50 million for Wellington’s new children’s hospital, now Mark Dunajtschik is giving a further $40m to $50m to build a mental health unit in Lower Hutt.

The money, donated by Dunajtschik and his business and life partner Dorothy Spotswood​, will finance a new 34-bed adult mental health facility on the Hutt Hospital campus.

I am in awe of the generosity of Mark Dunajtschik and Dorothy. He has funded the Life Flight Trust as well as the two hospital wings. And his background is a toolmaker who turned to property when he was aged 57.

He has probably done more to improve health outcomes for people in Wellington than the Government (of either stripe). It shows the difference an individual or couple can make.
