A pair of gofundme fundraisers for victims of a vicious bear attack on Bear Mountain are approaching a combined fundraised amount of $25,000.
One fundraiser for Analyn Shurtliff and family is being organized by DeAnna Wry. Click here.
“I am fundraising to assist Analyn's family, her husband and two teenage children. The funds will be used to help with costs of travel to Vancouver, and loss of income; as Analyn worked very hard to provide for her family and her husband has only recently started a new job. And also with future recovery costs, as Analyn faces a lengthy hospital stay and recovery process.”
The second is for Leosette Canoy organized by Wennali Canoy. Click here.
“(She) is facing a long recovery after the bear attack and she was critically injured. She was confined here in the Edmonton Royal Alexandra Hospital.”
Police say the two women were critically injured Monday evening after a black bear attacked them while hiking the cross-country ski club trails on Bear Mountain, south of Dawson Creek.
The bear then prevented family and emergency responders from the victims until it was killed, making way for the victims to be airlifted away with severe life-threatening injuries from the atttack.
