A fundraising campaign is underway to help out a local father and his two children, ages 21 months and seven years, after an ‘unimaginable loss’.

26 year old Miranda Thornton was 38 weeks pregnant when she passed away suddenly on Sunday.

Baby Rose passed away three days after being born.

A funeral service is taking place tomorrow (Friday) at Martyn’s Funeral Home in North Bay.

Officials behind a Go Fund Me page (CLICK HERE) say they’re looking to help Brandon Minor take time off work to grieve and care for his children.

As of this morning, over $7,000 has been raised.

The goal is $10,000.

Lise Hughson, Brandon’s cousin, started the Go Fund Me campaign.

She tells BayToday on top of the online donations, pink donation boxes will be set up in various locations in North Bay, Mattawa, and other surrounding areas.
