Share

A GoFundMe page has been started for the Hutchinson family, who lost their two-year-old daughter in an vehicle accident on Saturday.

The fundraising goal is set at $1,000, and has raised $610 at the time of writing.

The accident occurred when the girl’s father backed a minivan out of their driveway and struck his daughter. The girl was transported to hospital but later succumbed to her injuries.

“This is a horrible tragedy and our thoughts and prayers are with the family” said Sgt. Jereme Leslie of Saanich PD at the time.

According to the fundraiser page, money raised will go towards a professional cleaner who can be hired weekly to help the family for the next few months.

“During this time, the last thing they should have to worry about is everyday tasks that need to be done,” the page reads.
On July 11, a second GoFundMe was started to provide a memorial landmark and grief counselling for the family.
