I invite everyone to show their support a dear family, one of our very own, who just suffered an unimaginable loss.

On June 23rd, Simon Brown, a loving and devoted husband to Agnieszka Brown and father to Sydney and Londyn, passed away suddenly leaving behind a devastated family: a husband who was always present with a gentle and reassuring strength; a positive role model showering his children with the kind of love and attention only a father can give... In Agnieszka's own words he was and always will be 'their heart of hearts'.

As Agnieszka and their children begin their journey without their 'rock' we are rallying around them in any way we can.

It is our wish that the funds raised here by our close knit community (and beyond) can provide a small yet tangible comfort to Agnieszka and the kids as they begin to navigate the weeks and months ahead.

On a personal note, since meeting Agnieszka three years ago, I have seen her generous nature shine on many occasions; in her work in support of many community projects serving children and youth; and, in our friendship with a healthy dose of humor and grace. Her beautiful energy and drive to do good and the ability to know how to make the biggest impact - have been inspiring to many who know her.

Today, I ask you to do just that: make a big impact with the intention that our collective efforts reach Agnieszka and the children as a gift of love and support from all the good people far and wide...every small gesture will help light the path forward for this family with faith and hope, lifting their spirits for a moment to make way for dreams... for tomorrow.

Please kindly share with your families, friends and networks. Thank you for all of your efforts.

Czuwaj!

This fundraising effort is led by friends and families close to Agnieszka, largely from the Polish Scouting community in the Golden Horshoe.
