Their call to give a grieving family ‘financial breathing room’ follows a mother’s deadly alleged knife attack.
The father had thought his family were going for a picnic but he later learned his 42-year-old wife had driven their three children to a quiet street in the Blue Mountains andA cyclist passing by found the children — aged five, three and one — strapped in the car with knife wounds alongside their critically injured mother about 1pm on September 20.
The eldest child died in the car and the baby died later in hospital. The three-year-old child is still fighting for life. Their mother has since been charged over the alleged domestic violence murders and remains before the courts. The brutal alleged attack was traumatic for all who witnessed the aftermath, and the local community has now come together to support the victim-survivor’s family.
The family are now faced with a difficult period, with two funerals and ongoing treatment of the toddler, and community members are calling for wider support.
“Our hearts are with a family in our community who are going through an unimaginable and devastating tragedy,” GoFundMe fundraiser organisers Francis Mwaura and Shunen Kaunda said. “The family has suffered the heartbreaking loss of two beautiful young children, while at the same time dealing with the enormous emotional, medical and practical consequences.
"At a time when they should be able to grieve, support their loved ones and begin processing what has happened, they are also facing significant and immediate financial pressures. “We are coming together as friends, family and community to help ease some of that burden. ‘We can help carry some of the burden’ The incident was described by NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Peter McKenna as “barbaric” and traumatising for all who witnessed the aftermath.
The organisers of the fundraiser said they hope to “give the family some financial breathing room so they can focus on grieving, healing and supporting one another”.
“Together, we can help carry some of the burden. A community is rallying behind the family of a critically injured child whose siblings were killed in an alleged domestic violence stabbing attack.
