A fundraiser has been launched following a tragic motor vehicle collision near London on Friday afternoon that claimed the lives of four students and one staff member from Walkerton District Community School (WDCS).
The tragedy occurred as the group was returning home from a school sporting event. The sudden loss has sent shockwaves through the Walkerton community, with students, staff, families, and neighbours grappling with profound grief.
In response to the tragedy, a GoFundMe account has been set up to help support the five families directly affected. The funds raised will assist with funeral costs and other unforeseen expenses in the difficult days ahead.
“Nobody plans for this type of tragedy in their lives. The impact is horrific,” organizers wrote on the GoFundMe page. “We are asking for your support to assist in the unforeseen costs that will cause even more burden on these families.”
The community is being encouraged to come together in an outpouring of love, compassion, and support. Every contribution — big or small — will make a meaningful difference.
