My name is raji, and I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my family. On August 6th, 2025, we lost my brother, Paravdeep Singh Aujla, unexpectedly in his sleep at the age of 42. Paravdeep was a devoted father whose greatest joy and purpose was his son, Kenneth Gage Singh Oppenheimer. Every dream he had, every plan he made, centered around giving Gage a life full of opportunity, love, and support.

We are heartbroken that Paravdeep will not be here to see his son grow up. As a family, we are committed to ensuring that Gage has the future my brother always wanted for him.

We are raising funds to honour Paravdeep’s love and ensuring Gage has every opportunity to grow, explore, and thrive. While his core education is supported by the Okanagan band, this fund will help supplement his journey with experiences and resources that go beyond the classroom, whether through sports, arts, cultural opportunities, travel, or the mentorship he needs to flourish. Every contribution helps create a future where Gage feels supported, inspired, and supported by his community of love.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

raji and the whole Aujla and Oppenheimer Family
