Lisa didn’t stop there. One of her twitter followers, Jess Gordon @OfficiallyGordo was really touched by Lisa’s idea.
Jess, who lives in Melbourne tweeted Lisa that she didn’t know how to participate and would be happy to transfer the money to someone, “@Lisa_Wilkinson if I put money into a some1’s (sic) account, would some1 be willing to purchase flowers for me. I live in Melb & feel helpless”.
Lisa rushed to her aid and offered to pay for the flowers and place a note on her behalf.
“Dont worry about the money @OfficiallyGordo I’ll get them & place them there for you. What do u want on the note? #savethenotes #sydneysiege”.
