Kirsty’s dad Brian posted an emotional statement on Twitter where he said he was left overwhelmed when he was given the huge sum of money.
He said he turned up for a work project in Grangemouth where he was then presented with the donation.
Brian said: "I was caught unaware and left totally speechless and overcome with emotion when presented with a card and a donation to the Kirsty Maxwell Appeal.
"It was a collection by the personnel working on the project, some I know but many of whom I don’t really know.
"There have also been individual donations from many people’s hard-earned cash who we wish to also extend our gratitude to in what has been a staggering gesture.
