A gofundme called Honoring Addie has reached over $30,000 of a $40k goal with over 200 donations.
“The unexpected death of a child is an unimaginable loss that no one could prepare for. Our beloved brother and sister have suffered a significant loss with the recent passing of their precious daughter Addie,” the fundraiser organized by Sabina Grimes indicates.
“Please consider donating as they lay their daughter to rest and take the time [to] grieve and be with their son, Owen. The family's desire is to donate funds in Addie's honor. A further update is to come as those decisions are made. Any help is appreciated during this difficult time. Please respect the family's privacy in this matter.”
Grimes, 7, was pronounced dead at the Diamond Peak Ski Resort on Saturday shortly before 4 p.m..
The cause of death was blunt force injuries to her neck and chest, according to the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office, after a boulder is reported to have fallen onto her.
She was reported to be a member of the Sugar Bowl race team which was competing in an under-12 competition.
'We would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of the child involved, to the members of the Sugar Bowl race team, and to the entire Lake Tahoe ski racing community, all of whom have been profoundly saddened by the accident,” the Diamond Peak resort wrote in a statement.
