<div>On behalf of my family, I am reaching out to share the heartbreaking story of my siblings, Ava and Colin Dorgan. Our family has been forever changed by the tragic events at Lynch Arena, where we lost our beloved brother Aidan and their mother Rhonda, who was also my stepmother. In addition to this unimaginable loss, their grandparents are currently in critical condition, fighting for their lives. Ava, who is working hard as a nursing student, and Colin, a 17-year-old senior in high school, are now facing the future without their parents and older brother. The weight of this loss is something no one should ever have to bear, especially at such young ages. Despite the pain, Ava and Colin are determined to continue their education and build a life that honors the memory of our loved ones. However, the road ahead is filled with uncertainty and financial challenges. With both parents gone, Ava and Colin will need help covering basic living expenses and the costs of continuing their education. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease their burden and provide some stability as they navigate this difficult time. We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and especially the hockey community. Your kindness and generosity have given us strength and hope when we need it most. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help Ava and Colin as they rebuild their lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with our family.

<div>Update 8/4/26:
</div>
<div>It’s been about 5 months and a lot has transpired since the original creation of this Fund. If you know any of us who were there that day or who were impacted, you know that this process had seen us both brokenhearted and hopeful. Now that we are settling into our new lives, we want to thank everyone again for their love and emotional support of all of us- and this financial support of Ava and Colin. We never expected to have this much support from the community when making this GoFundMe! I really just set out to make sure that Ava and Colin had bills paid and wouldn’t have to worry about the stress of money while navigating tragedy. But you all really showed an outpouring of caring and love that will truly ease Ava and colin’s transition to adulthood without their parents- and I’m immensely grateful for that. To make sure the funds are secure and spent in good faith for their intended purpose, a Trust has been established for disbursement of these funds. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out! Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts and we love you all!
