A union has established a trust fund to help pay the American medical bills of one of its Hamilton members and her baby injured in a crash that killed a Stoney Creek woman.
Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Healthcare set up the fund to help a personal support worker after she and her baby were struck in a fatal head-on collision in New York State last February.
Karen Weller was heading toward Albany, New York with her four-month old son Tajaye and her friend Carol Dion when a driver hit her while going the wrong way. Weller suffered a broken foot and fractured ribs. Tajaye's legs were broken and his skull was fractured in multiple places. Dion died from her injuries.
Tajaye stayed at Albany Medical Centre for four months before he was transferred to McMaster Children's Hospital.
SEIU Healthcare represented Dion and Weller. Neither of the women had travel insurance. Union officials are looking to help with medical bills estimated to be tens of thousands of dollars.
"The accident has left Ms. Weller, who is on maternity leave, with a huge debt that will be very difficult to pay off," said Eulalee Robertson, who helped set up the trust fund.
"I've met Karen before, and when I heard what happened I was compelled to do whatever I could to help another union member through this difficult time."
The public can donate by visiting any TD Bank, or by sending a cheque or giving online.
