Nick Kyrgios's noble gesture to help Australia bushfire victims wins hearts on internet

Holidaymakers and Australian residents have been forced to evacuate the country's southeast coast courtesy raging forest fires. Around 500 million animals are estimated to have died in the calamity of the Australia bushfire, which includes a third of the koalas in New South Wales' main habitat. With the bushfires wreaking havoc across the country, the country's top tennis star Nick Kyrgios has decided to work on raising funds for the firefighters and the communities affected by the bushfires.
