Matt's mission to help others February 3, 2013 - 11:40AM Celebrity chef Matt Golinski has revealed that the struggle to recover from burns and the loss of his wife and daughters has made him a more compassionate person who wants to help others. In an emotional speech at the Sunshine Coast Sports Star Awards, Mr Golinski also told how the support of his family, friends and the wider community had helped him through. I'm just in awe of the amount of support I got. I couldn't believe it," he said. And it's given me much more of a focus in my life of wanting to help other people. I've got a great amount more of compassion now, so when I see people suffering I just want to help. It's been good in that way because that's now my focus. Mr Golinski has revealed that the outpouring of support and love from the community kept him going when he wanted to "pack it all in" after losing his wife and daughters in a house fire that also left him badly burnt.
