The Gauthier family has just experienced the unimaginable loss of their son, Zachary, while he was visiting them in Florida over the Christmas holidays.

As a Canadian military family posted in the United States, they were suddenly faced with the complex reality of managing an international tragedy. Zachary has now been repatriated and laid to rest in Canada, but the financial impact of those events remains significant.

The unique circumstances of his passing introduced a number of unforeseen expenses that are not covered, including elements of international transport, funeral arrangements, travel, accommodations, and prolonged time away from home.

This GoFundMe has been created to help ease that unexpected financial burden so the family can focus on grieving, healing, and supporting one another.

If you are able to contribute, your kindness will make a meaningful difference. If you cannot, sharing this page is also a powerful way to help. Thank you for standing with the Gauthier family during this incredibly difficult time.
