$50K interim payments approved for Humboldt Broncos families
Families of the Humboldt Broncos involved in the April 6 bus tragedy will be getting some financial relief after a judge approved interim payments from their GoFundMe account.
Each of the families of the 13 survivors and 16 victims will be receiving $50,000 as an advance from the $15.1 million Humboldt Broncos Memorial Fund, totalling about 10 per cent of the account’s after-fees money.
The approval came after a court application was heard at Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench Wednesday morning.
Jeff Lee, lawyer for the fund, told reporters the cheques would be going out “within days.”
