Donations have been pouring in from across the country and abroad to support the families of six young adults killed in a weekend car crash in Barrie, Ont., with the fundraiser fast approaching its $60,000 goal after just one day online.
Organizer Mary-Anne Frith said she was surprised at how fast donations came in after the volunteer-led GoFundMe page went live. The page had raised $53,000 by mid-afternoon on Tuesday."We have a community that we rally together, we have each other's backs, and it's really in times like this when you truly do see how people come together for each other."
The young ages of the victims, who were all in their early 20s, likely is playing on people's minds, Frith added. In a Tuesday post on Twitter, the mayor highlighted the GoFundMe page that he said raised $40,000 in its first 18 hours.
