Fund for Sandy's kids - 4 & 17 Months
Donation protected
Update (10/7/2020): John and Ruby are doing great. They are now attending the same daycare, with Ruby only a year away from starting junior kindergarten. Time sure flies! And our family has just been featured on an episode of Property Brothers Forever Home (Season 3, Episode 10). Patricia and I are so thankful to be able to tell the kids' origin story in such a powerful way. And although we didn't go into detail on the show about how Sandy died, I hope it helps people understand how devastating the opioid crisis is!

My brother Alex (Sandy) Forsyth died of a fentanyl overdose on November 10, 2018. It was a senseless waste of a life and a tragic loss for our family. It also left his two infant children John and Ruby fatherless. Mother has her own challenges, so my wife Patricia and I are adopting them. We love these children and want them to have a good life.
Money raised by GoFundMe will be held in trust for John and Ruby until they are eighteen years old.
