Last night, June 7, 2024, the community of Hinton, Alberta, was struck by the tragic loss of Ellen Gosney. A beloved mother, friend, and resilient soul, Ellen passed away, leaving behind her three children, Sébastian, Jojo, and Jethro, who now face the immense challenge of navigating life without their mother.
Christine Berry, a close friend, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to support Ellen’s children during this devastating time. The campaign, titled "In Loving Memory of our Friend Ellen Gosney," aims to raise $10,000 CAD to help ease the financial burdens that come with such a sudden loss. Christine’s heartfelt plea underscores the urgency and profound sorrow felt by all who knew Ellen.
Darcie Bennett Taylor, another friend, expressed her grief and support on Facebook, saying, "I know so many of us are hurting from this cruel world right now and it’s getting tougher but nothing is going to be more tougher for these 3 children, our beloved friend had to leave behind no words, and no amount of money will sooth their souls but it will help get them through."
Christine Berry also shared a touching tribute and appeal for support: "I am pleading with you all to help me help Ellen’s children. The more we can do for them right now, the faster they can concentrate on what’s most important. To grieve and move forward together." She recounts Ellen’s recent struggles and her remarkable strength in overcoming numerous hardships. Despite her own challenges, Ellen always found time to support friends and family, a testament to her character and love.
This fundraiser is not only a call for financial assistance but also a reflection of the deep love and respect the community has for Ellen and her family. The loss of Ellen is immeasurable, but the collective effort to support her children demonstrates the power of community and compassion in the face of tragedy.
