One of our own is facing the unthinkable, and we are asking the community to come together and be the village Dorothy and her beautiful children need after the tragic loss of their father, Alex.
Dorothy and Alex have three young children: Camden (5 years), Adeline (3 years), and Finn (9 months). Dorothy is still on maternity leave, and as everyone knows, raising a family, especially alone, is incredibly expensive. With Alex gone, she now faces the overwhelming responsibility of supporting their children on a drastically reduced income. The short-term disability payments Alex had been receiving have ended now that he has passed.
For the past three months, while Alex was hospitalized, Dorothy has been caring for their home and children on her own, stretched thin emotionally and financially. She and Alex were always financially thoughtful and responsible. They even tried to take out robust life insurance policies after having their first child. But because of Alex’s Lupus diagnosis, he was denied purchasing anything beyond the bare minimum coverage through his employer. This is the kind of tragedy no family can truly prepare for.
If you had the pleasure of knowing Alex, you’d know he was whip-smart with a wonderfully dry sense of humour, surely inherited from his British parents. You’d also know better than to challenge him in a trivia game; his encyclopedic mind made him nearly impossible to beat. That sharp intellect served him well as an educator, where he poured his energy and passion into his students at R. H. King Academy. But above all else, you’d know Alex as a devoted husband and father. He cherished Dorothy, and his children were the very center of his world.
