Funeral travel expenses for Candice, Ezra & Vincey
Donation protected
Candice received word on Sunday evening that Omar, father of her sons Ezra and Vincent, and the person Candice spent many years of her life with, has unexpectedly passed away.
Candice and the boys will need to travel to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in a few weeks for the funeral. We are asking the community to donate in order to help with this cost, as the financial stability for this family is now so uncertain. We are appreciative of any donation given to help with these specific costs, and anything extra received would be for future expenses.
Omar was the primary income provider for this family, and the details of his will are unknown at this time. Candice and Omar's youngest son, Vincent (Vincey) has a very rare genetic disorder (Prader-Willi Syndrome), and therefore Candice spends much of her time taking Vincent to weekly appointments, etc. Omar understood the level of commitment this required of Candice and how challenging it would be at this time in their lives if Candice were employed outside of the home.
Candice is an amazing, resilient person with a generous spirit and warm soul. She is now suddenly forced to navigate through intense grief, while also trying to help her two young boys work through their own emotions from this devastating loss.
On behalf of Candice and her boys, we have set up a GoFundMe campaign to ask for help to ensure they're able to travel to the services, and maybe eventually have a service for Omar in Washington State as well. Funeral travel expenses are only one of many future challenges this family will endure because of this tragic loss, but if we can come together to support in this way, we will hopefully help to ease at least some of the burden Candice now carries.
For informational purposes: My name is Jean Farina from Bellingham, WA and I have known Candice for about 18 years. I knew Omar for about 15 years, since the beginning of Candice and his relationship. The funds from this campaign will ALL directly go to Candice and her boys.
We have also set up a meal train for the family. You can sign up for this through the link below.
