‘It blew me away’: Ex-colleague of slain Lumby mother supporting family in big way

A former colleague is matching donations up to $10,000 as the family faces financial strain during the five-week murder trial.

  • Former colleague Miranda Jarvie is matching donations up to $10,000 for a GoFundMe campaign supporting the family of Tatjana Stefanski during Vitali Stefanski's second-degree murder trial.
  • After the trial moved to Kamloops late last year, Jason Gaudreault faced significant financial hardship, curtailing his powder coating business while attending the five-week proceedings.
  • Jen de Bourcier launched the GoFundMe on May 23, raising just over $8,600 to support Gaudreault and Stefanski's two children facing an 'intense and heavy emotional experience day after day.'
  • Jarvie stated she felt compelled to help because 'no one should have to endure the kind of tragedy' the family faces, hoping the matching contribution eases their financial burden.
  • The court, which moved from Vernon to Kamloops, is not sitting Thursday or Friday, but the Crown will call its final witness on Monday to conclude testimony.
