“Kristy is my sister and she’s the most beautiful person with such a big heart and wouldn’t ask for anything,” reads the GoFundMe campaign organized by Jody Bedwell. “She has been there for all her friends and family when we need her and I just want her not to have to worry about anything during this tough time.”

Emergency crews responded to a two-vehicle crash on West Saanich Road, near Prospect Lake Road, at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 4. The driver of a black Honda CRX was pronounced dead at the scene and the other driver was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
