The Nigerian community has been thrown into mourning over the death of a six-year-old, Ayomide Bennett, after she fell from a 28-floor apartment in North York, Toronto, Canada.\n<\/p>\n
In a GoFundMe created this week by one Adebisi O, Diaspora Tales gathered that Bennett, who fell off the window, was autistic but \u201cdeeply cherished for her innocence, spirit, and light.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\u201cHer life was tragically cut short following a devastating fall from a 28th-floor apartment at 200 Chalkfarm Drive,\u201d the GoFundMe statement read.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis heartbreaking loss has left her family, friends, and community in profound grief. It is also a deep loss felt within the Nigerian community in Canada and beyond, as we mourn a precious life gone too soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are raising funds to support Amna\u2019s burial and memorial, and to help give her a dignified and loving farewell. Donations will go directly toward funeral arrangements, burial costs, and memorial expenses during this incredibly difficult time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Also, the Nigerian Canadian Association Greater Toronto Area posted on its Instagram account on Thursday, stated that the group\u2019s executives, \u201cpaid a condolence visit to the family of Ms. Gift Anyanwu following the heartbreaking passing of her beloved daughter, Amna Ayomide Bennett, who transitioned last week.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
The association sympathised with the girl\u2019s family and offered prayers, love, and support, praying for strength, comfort, and peace beyond understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery contribution, prayer, and kind gesture will go a long way in helping the family during this painful season,\u201d it added.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Nigerian community has been thrown into mourning over the death of a six-year-old, Ayomide Bennett, after she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[16432,16433,16434,17,16435,16436,16437,16438,16439,16440,16441,16442,16443,16444,3542,48,16445],"class_list":["post-38231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-accidental-death","tag-autism","tag-ayomide-bennett","tag-canada","tag-child-death","tag-child-safety","tag-community-mourning","tag-diaspora-tales","tag-gofundme","tag-high-rise-accident","tag-high-rise-building","tag-high-rise-fall","tag-nigerian-canadian-association","tag-nigerian-community","tag-north-york","tag-toronto","tag-tragic-accident"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
