A GoFundMe campaign has already raised more than $250,000 for the kids.
The mom’s lifelong friends are rallying to help this family.
They describe her as the glue who held them together since high school. But she and her husband were killed in a horrific accident on Ambaum Boulevard.
Now friends are wrapping themselves around their two children.
White Center Now. The victims are now identified as a West Seattle couple, 35-year-old
Lauren Dupuis-Perez and 38-year-old
Kamel Dupuis-Perez, who lived with their two elementary-age children in Arbor Heights. A friend asked us to publish the link to the crowdfunding page set up for their family, which says in part:
We know they touched so many lives with their spirit for adventure, photography, their love for their children, travelling, and community. This tragic loss is incredibly sad for all of us and we send our love to you as you grieve the unimaginable. The brilliant energy and love that they infused into all of our lives is what motivates us now to continue their legacy of creating a safe, beautiful, and rich life for their children.
