A crowdfunding campaign has been setup to assist the families of slain military members Cpl Nathan Cirillo and WO Patrice Vincent.
The campaign, called the 'Stand on Guard Fund' initially sought $10,000 but organizers say they passed the initial goal in less than a day. They've since raised their goal more than once and are now seeking $200,000 to split between the two families. It has already taken in donations from many Canadians and several major Canadian banks and the fund is now approaching $300,000. (28 Oct 14).
