JULY 3 UPDATE:

A GoFundMe Page has been set up for Kamaljit Sandhu by Sean Kelly who writes:

“On July 28, 2022, we lost one of the most caring, loving, kind and strong women I have met. I was privileged to work alongside Kam for the last year in a half at the Seven Oaks Branch of RBC. One of our expert front-line advisors, she led with care and empathy with all of our clients and patiently worked with the staff, helping to teach and mentor individuals. She was funny, sweet, and went out of her way to make you feel good about yourself and what was going on in your world. Her passing is a tragedy. Kam leaves behind two children. This fundraiser is created to generate funds to assist the family in any way. Please show your love and support with your donations.”
