Local family shares heartbreaking story to inspire others to give to RIH Foundation
KAMLOOPS — There was hardly a dry eye in the room as the RIH Foundation launched its Holiday Fundraising Campaign, highlighting the story of a local family who experienced a tragic loss earlier this year.
“It means so much to us that they see hundreds of families every single month and the fact that months later they’re still thinking about our family, we just wanted to reciprocate that today,” said Brittany Ovenden.
Brittany and Kevin Ovenden and their three-year-old son Griffin were surrounded with support from caregivers after their daughter Georgia died moments after she was delivered, suffering a fetal maternal hemorrhage while in uterus.
