Donations top $100,000 for doctor whose toddler was killed in suspected murder–suicide
The fundraising page was set up in memory of Dr Sophie Roome's son, Rowan.
There has been an outpouring of support for a doctor whose son was believed killed by his father in a suspected murder–suicide, with a fundraising page surpassing $100,000 in donations.
Dr Sophie Roome’s two-year-old son Rowan was found dead, alongside his father in a unit in Lismore in northern NSW last month.
The GoFundMe page, set up by the intensive care specialist’s friend Belinda Olding, initially set a target of $5000, but within 24 hours it had received more than $40,000 from some 400 people.
Over 1000 people have now donated, bringing the total raised to $101,451 as of 11 June.
