Is there a gofundme for the victims in Toronto?
Yes. Its run by the same group that fundraised for victims of Quebec City’s mosque mass shooting:
Toronto Van Incident Victims Funds
Information:
“This fund is being setup in response to the tragic incident that occurred earlier this afternoon involving a rental van that plowed through pedestrians in the Yonge & Finch area of North York, Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring around 15 people.This fund is being setup by Canada Zakat (a Project of www.dawanet.ca). Funds are being raised for funeral expenses of the victims who lost their lives. Previously Canada Zakat has successfully spearheaded fundraising campaigns for the Quebec Mosque Shooting victims and for Aymen Derbali and rasied over $800,000during the shooting at a Quebec City Mosque.Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of today’s tragedy. You are in our thoughts and prayers!Canada Zakat’s also exploring other ways of assisting those affected.Stay tuned for updates through www.facebook.com/CanadaZakat”
There’s also this one:
#TorontoStrong
Info:
“You never think something like this will happen in your city, until it does. We feel beyond lucky that us and our loved ones are safe and sound but our hearts and minds are with the victims’ families. We, the owners of Balloonery.com, have decided to come together to launch this gofundme to raise money for the families of victims to help financially alleviate unplanned costs. The money raised will be distributed to the families of victims with the purpose of covering funeral and health care related costs. As local business owners we always try to do our part to give back to the community that supports us (that’s you, beautiful Toronto!)We will be enlisting in the help of the Toronto Police to make sure the money ends up in the rightful hands.Any little bit helps! #TorontoStrong”
