James Woodward Fundraiser

On April 7, our family member James Woodward (originally from Hamilton, Ontario) who had lived in Brazil many years, was senselessly murdered in Macae, a city of about 200,000, 180 km north of Rio de Janeiro. He was 66.

We agreed to pay the required $10,000 to return his body to Canada, where we hoped to have him laid to rest at his reserved Hamilton plot next to his brother and father. However, that number quickly rose to $30,000, as we have been informed that the need for cremation of the body created legal hurdles and increasing costs.

We are hoping people will help us with the cost of bringing him back to Canada, our legal expenses and possibly reward money to help solve James' murder.
