Please assist stabbing victim Janelle Guyatt

Donation protected
Janelle is a beautiful, giving and loving young lady who was maliciously stabbed multiple times by a stranger to her.  This occurred inside her boyfriends home in Chemainus on May 20, 2016.  This tragic day also took the life of her boyfriend Derek Descoteau who was stabbed sixteen times by the perpetrator.

Janelle has already undergone three surgeries to her arm to repair severed nerves and muscles and has a fourth major surgery scheduled at the end of January 2019, in hopes of getting better mobility in her arm.  The recovery from this extensive surgery is six to eight months and she will not be able to work during this time.

The only option for financial compensation is a civil suit against the perpetrator and he has no money or assets.  The family has already incurred costs for traveling to Vancouver, taking time off work to assist Janelle with medical appointments etc.

This 2 1/2 year nightmare has been through the judicial preliminary stage and most recently the Crown Council testimony. The trial will resume in Apr/May of 2019 which will mark the 3rd year Anniversary.
For more information on this story you can look up the countless news articles over the last two years online.

There is no one more deserving of having the burden of paying simple monthly bills taken care of while she recovers.  There is no one more beautiful who deserves the kindness and generosity of people like yourself who care enough to read this.

If you are someone unable or uncomfortable with online money transactions you can contact me, Kristina Tkachuk at [phone redacted] and I can assist you in an alternative way.

The gratitude for your kindness and generosity is immeasurable and appreciated in advance.  Your support is humbling and we are grateful for all donations.
