A GoFundMe drive was launched to raise money and help her family cover funeral services and other medical bills. This little child whom the vehicle reportedly left unhurt happens to be the same in this situation of a dire need. The amount being raised was $20,000. Much publicity has been given to the campaign as it raises money from the wider community.
Courtney Clinton’s Body Found
Local residents woke to sad news: Courtney Clinton’s body was found lifeless in her vehicle. North Portland had a car parked along a street that the police were called about, as well as the report the following morning of October 30th that a person in the driver’s side seat was unconscious. Courtney was found unconscious in the driver’s seat of the car; the baby remained blameless in the backseat. To this day, no cause for her death has been found and preliminary reports showed no foul play, and no traces.
As far as I can conclude, Courtney’s case appears suspicious, and it is being investigated. It seems that investigation is still in process and continues to be the case of the Portland Police Bureau. The cause of death is still unknown but the family has gained so much attention focused on support to the living child, emotional trauma from losing a daughter and sister, and a mother over the loss. Their statement turned out to be pretty intense emotionally since they pointed out that “it’s hard to lose somebody who was so huge in your life. Then, it’s hard to find out you don’t even know why.”. Launch the GoFundMe Campaign
This sad case calls for the need of a GoFundMe page for Courtney’s family to help alleviate some of the financial burden that comes with this untimely death. The cost of some funerals is in thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, then there is the money to care for Courtney’s child so that they are well taken care of in the coming months as life will continue on without their mother.
COURTNEY’s sibling initiated the campaign, saying: “Courtney is the most cariñosa and loving person. She would do anything for her family, and now we need to come together and help her family.” Any donation no matter how small will be treasured by us working towards sending Courtney back with a peaceful goodbye. ” End
It was not long before the campaign was live on GoFundMe with thunders of response from the good people of Portland and further afield. The local community, friends, and even total strangers reached out to post their messages of condolence together with donating to the cause. The campaign promptly went past the $5,000 fund and spoke to the great kindness and unity of the people of Portland in times when things get pretty hard.
Other local organizations and businesses have come forward to help make this effort possible. This includes one of the largest local cafés within the Alberta Arts District, which has held a fundraiser and promised to donate portions of their daily sales to this GoFundMe campaign. One local church offered to help cover other funeral costs and stated they’d have an outpouring of emotional support to the family in the coming days.
Friends and family describe Courtney as follows: “a very gentle, selfless person that is not only in the community but is involved as well.” She was active as a mother, loved as a daughter, and beloved as a friend. Many knew Courtney, as she had been a babysitter for many; many have turned to social media to share memories of Courtney, offer condolences, and to spread the word of the GoFundMe campaign.
Impact to the Surviving Child
The most debilitating impact of Courtney’s death is the one she leaves behind on the child who survived the ordeal and was left unharmed inside the car. The child is 4 years old and has been handed over to her close relatives, who have promised to give the child all their love and stable care at such a time of crisis.
At the very least, for all those who knew her, Courtney’s death is going to leave a void in many hearts: in that of her only child whom she cannot be there for to grow without mom.
This money will serve as future support for her child, ensuring that they receive the right kind of care and support needed at such a difficult loss. According to his sister, Courtney said that they wanted their little one to grow up knowing that their mother loved them, and their family would be there for them. Even though the police have yet to determine exactly how Courtney died, her family will make sure she is accorded all dignity befitting of the wonderful girl she was. The money raised so far at GoFundMe is already in use to cover some of the short-term expenses. Of course, these include the $50,000 funeral and after-death expenses, and will thus help raise funds to provide a future life for the child she left behind without a mother.
