The Deets
Okay, fam, this is heavy. Last week, at the Lapu Lapu Day festival in Vancouver, some 30-year-old dude straight up drove a vehicle into the crowd. Eleven people lost their lives. They’re saying he’s charged with second-degree murder, which is just…wow. 😭
Let's put some respect on those we lost. We're talkin':
- Maria Victoria Bjarnason: Flew in all the way from the Philippines to see her sons. A GoFundMe's up to help her boys and get her back home.
- Jenifer Darbellay: An artist and a mom of two. Her hubby said she was all about that selfless, creative life.
- Daniel Samper, Glitza Maria Caicedo, and Glitza Daniela Samper: A whole family who bounced from Colombia to Vancouver for a better life. 💔
- Richard Le: A realtor and coach for badminton and tennis. Straight up mentor material.
- Linh Hoang: Dedicated mom to Katie and stepmom to Andy.
- Katie Le: Five years young. Richard and Linh's daughter. 🥺
- Kira Salim: Teacher-counselor and huge community activist.
The community's coming together with mad love, sharing memories and tryna lift each other up. GoFundMes are popping off to help the families navigate this mess. It's a tough time, but seeing everyone rally is kinda giving me hope, ya know?
