The late Andrew Croft, from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, tragically lost his life in a car accident on Saturday night. The community and his family are struggling to prepare for his burial and cope with the immense grief of his sudden passing. This news is devastating, especially for his parents, Darlene and Martin, who are no strangers to loss. They are still grieving the loss of their beloved son, Jesse, who passed away nine years before his big brother.
Carrie Hurley, a friend and coworker of Darlene, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to support the family financially during this difficult time. The campaign aims to raise $15,000 CAD to help cover funeral expenses and alleviate the financial burden on Darlene and Martin, who are both working in their senior years. Darlene works full-time at Lawtons and often picks up extra work, such as making Christmas wreaths and preparing grounds for local events, to support their income.
"Darlene would help any one of us. Let’s help her the best we can," Carrie Hurley wrote on the GoFundMe page, highlighting Darlene’s dedication and hard work. The fundraiser seeks to ensure that lost wages and funeral expenses are not something the family has to worry about during this tragic time.
Mackenzie Corkum shared on Facebook, "My coworker and long-time friend tragically lost her son on Saturday night. If you are able to donate or share this post in order to help her family through this difficult time, it would be greatly appreciated."
The outpouring of support from friends and the community underscores the deep impact Andrew’s loss has had on those who knew him and his family. The GoFundMe campaign reflects a collective effort to provide some measure of comfort and financial relief to a grieving family facing unimaginable pain.
