Over $140,000 raised for man who died helping ducks cross the Road

Over $140,000 raised for man who died helping ducks cross the Road 

His tragic death shocked the world 

⁠

Casey Rivara, 41, had parked his car by a crossroads on a Californian highway and got out when he saw a mum duck and her entourage of ducklings trying to cross the busy road.⁠

⁠

He stood by the family to try and stop traffic so they could cross safely, eventually getting them across the road.⁠

⁠

Devastatingly, Casey's kind-hearted gesture ended in tragedy. As he was walking back to his vehicle he was struck and killed by a car being driven by a 17-year-old.⁠

⁠

Now, a GoFundMe page has been set up to raise money to support Casey's widow Ngating Chow and two children Sophia, 11, and James, 6.⁠

⁠

His aunt Tracy Rivara set the page up, and paid tribute to her nephew, writing: "Casey was the kindest, most amazing husband and father. Even his last act in this world was a sign of his compassion. The family is trying to figure out how to recover and keep going after this immense loss. If you would like to express your love and support for Angel and her family, we ask that you please contribute here in lieu of flowers, meals, and other acts of kindness.⁠

⁠

"His family was Casey’s world, and to remain even closer to them he had recently started working at their children's school. He loved working at the school as he was able to positively impact other children."
