SASKATOON A GoFundMe page is raising money to help support six children whose mother died on Christmas Eve. Cheryl Kay, 36, died in Regina. She had low electrolytes and had slipped into a coma, according to a GoFundMe page set up by her sister, Rachel Smith. Since then, Smith has taken in the children, ranging from ages two to 17-years-old. The money raised so far has helped Smith buy necessities such as diapers, groceries, clothing, birthday gifts and more. But as the family has doubled, it’s still not enough. “Right now we need (three) bunk beds, we need blankets, we need towels, we need cups, we need cutlery, we need basically everything,” Smith says.
