Four GoFundMe pages set up for family of Ajax murder victims - Toronto Star

Friday. The final page, the DCWS Pejcinovski Family Relief Fund, was started by War Veal — according to the description, being done so on behalf of the Durham Chapter of the Widows Sons Masonic Riding Association. “A terrible, unspeakable tragedy occurred On March 14th in Ajax Ontario,” it says. “In a matter of hours (the family’s) world has been rocked in an unimaginable way.” The page, which had raised $344 of their $5,000 goal, says all donations will go directly to the family to use how they see fit, “whether it be funeral costs, therapy or education.” “This is hopefully only a start to fundraising initiatives and awareness to domestic violence and the lives it destroys,” they wrote. “Any size donation is gratefully appreciated and needed.”GoFundMe has been closely monitoring the campaigns related to the Pejcinovskis this week, spokesperson Rachel Hollis wrote in an email to the Star on Friday. “It’s not uncommon for someone to create a GoFundMe to help another individual after a news report,” she explained. “We are monitoring all campaigns set up to support the family and our team is reviewing all campaigns to ensure the funds reach the Pejcinovski family directly.”Hollis identified the Roy Pejcinovski Family Fund and Pejcinovski Family Relief as “actively” raising funds, and said their team would work with those campaign organizers to safely deliver the funds to the family. “For the additional campaigns that have been set up, we will work with the organizers to ensure the funds reach the Pejcinovski family,” she added. “When a campaign is created on behalf of another individual, the funds are held by our team and released only to the person named as the beneficiary of the campaign. If a campaign organizer has a direct, personal connection to the beneficiary, then in some instances the campaign organizer may withdraw the funds to provide directly to the beneficiary.”If questions arise, Hollis says GoFundMe’s Trust & Safety team would hold the funds unless the benficiary was “verified to our satisfaction.” “This layer of protection makes sure that the funds go only into the right hands,” she said.GoFundMe doesn’t investigate the claims stated by each campaign organizer, according to their website. “Rather, we provide visitors with the tools to make an informed decision as to who they choose to support. While GoFundMe and its payment partners do provide a number of safeguards to deter fraud, we must insist that visitors follow the advice stated on each and every campaign: ‘Only donate to people you personally know & trust.’”Let's block ads!

Body of missing Oshawa father Cameron Bailie found in Lake Ontario - Toronto Star

In terms of the exact cause of death we are still working with the coroner and the medical experts to determine what that was,” said Dave Selby, a spokesperson with Durham Region police.Bailie’s sister Amanda Gerrard said there is no family medical history to suggest any natural causes for his death. So while Bailie has been found, information about how he died means “it’s a waiting game again,” she said.Much of the search efforts into Bailie’s whereabouts focused around the park and Lake Ontario along the Oshawa shoreline, about 3.8 km from his home.“Our suspicions were that he was in the water,” said Glen Turpin, co-ordinator for the Ontario Volunteer Emergency Response Team (OVERT). The team performed two water searches by boat, travelling from Darlington to Whitby, using “very limited technology,” including sonar.Bailie’s body was found in an area of the lake that had already been heavily searched but the “incredible amount of dynamics involved,” from drastic changes in temperature over the last two seasons to strong currents, would impact those efforts, Turpin said.Bailie’s shoes were previously found within the park that borders the area where the body was found. They were found in separate locations, which the family found unusual.Bailie had no history of mental illness. Gerrard saw him the night before he was last seen and said all appeared to be well.“There was nothing out of the ordinary,” she said in a March interview. “I’m a nurse. I...

‘Write me soon. Stay safe’: A story of Canada’s opioid crisis, told in letters from prison - The Globe and Mail

At her home in Guelph, Ont., Moira Barber lays out one of the letters between her common-law husband, Albert (Manie) Daniels, and Spencer Kell, his old cellmate at Ontario's Maplehurst prison. Tijana Martin/The Globe and Mail When Spencer Kell got out of jail last spring, leaving his cellmate Manie Daniels behind, the two friends started exchanging letters. Mr. Daniels's, written in flowing cursive script, came to Mr. Kell in Ottawa, where he was trying to stay clean and build a new life. Mr. Kell's, in bold block letters, arrived at Maplehurst prison in Milton, Ont., where Mr. Daniels was serving out the final months of his latest stretch behind bars. Their brief correspondence shines a light on the dangers that former prisoners face in the midst of Canada's opioids crisis. Mr. Daniels's full name was Albert Joseph Daniels. His Cree name was Little Buffalo that Runs Against the Herd. His mother and sisters called him Manie – little man – because he was the only boy in the family. Story continues below advertisement He was torn away from his home on Saskatchewan's Peepeekisis First Nation to be educated in church-run res...
