Dear Whistler Community,

On July 1, Illya Rechytsky was tragically swept away by the current of the Cheakamus River in Whistler. Since then, despite the tireless efforts of search and rescue teams, volunteers, and his family, Illya remains missing.

We are launching this fundraiser to support Illya’s family during this unimaginably difficult time. As they continue their search, your donations will help ease the financial strain—covering essential expenses, accommodations, and allowing them to focus fully on the ongoing search for Illya.

We are incredibly grateful for any contribution you can make. Even if you are unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser can make a huge difference.

Thank you for standing with Illya's family.
