In times of darkness, it's the light of compassion that illuminates the greatness of a community. And it is in the face of tragedy that we see the true measure of that greatness.

 With deep sadness, we create a GofundMe account for Robbie and her three beautiful children; after the sudden passing of their husband and father, Nghe Tran, on Sunday, March 26, 2023. Nghe was a beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend who lit up the world around him with his infectious laugh and witty sense of humour. His sudden passing has left shockwaves that can be felt from coast to coast and has left many broken hearts in the wake.

 Regardless of where you are geographically reading this from, if you knew Nghe, you know that although he had many talents and passions, he was truly gifted at building a strong community around him and his family. Nghe was a shining example of what it means to create a faithful and caring community, and his legacy lives on through the love and compassion he instilled in those around him.

 At this time, I invite you to join us in coming together in support of Robbie and her children as they navigate the heartbreak of losing a beloved husband and father and relieve them of the added financial stress of moving forward with the cost of memorials and associated travels as well as the transition to a single family income.

 No matter where you are in the world, we encourage you to be a part of this community of compassion. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps to ease the burden and show the Tran family that they are not alone on their journey through grief. Let us honour Nghe's memory by coming together and showing the world what true greatness looks like in the face of adversity.
