Gofundme Pelletier Campaign Set Up for Trooper's Family in Need

A gofundme Pelletier campaign has been set up to support the family of a trooper in need.

The campaign was created to raise funds for the family's living expenses, including housing and food.

The trooper's family is facing financial difficulties due to his medical condition.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family of fallen Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier, who died in the line of duty last Thursday.

The page was created by Connecticut State Police to benefit the Pelletier family as they navigate life without their husband and father. As of Monday morning, nearly $356,000 toward the $500,000 goal was met.

The funds raised will go directly to Trooper Pelletier's wife, Dominique, and their two young sons, Troy and Zachary, to help them during this difficult time.

A Southington restaurant, Smoke and Muddle, also held a fundraiser for the Pelletier family, raising over $900 in the first hour of a raffle. All the money raised will go to the state police-approved GoFundMe page.

The community's support for the Pelletier family is a testament to the strong bonds within the community, as one resident noted, "Everybody comes together for everybody, so it's really overwhelmingly nice to see."

Trooper Pelletier was a dedicated and compassionate professional who will be remembered for his easy smile and quick jokes.

He was a K-9 police officer and was partnered with his state police dog "Roso", who escaped injury when the cruiser was struck.

The East Kootenay New Year's baby, Lennon, was born six weeks early on January 1, 2022, to parents Jo-Ann Pelletier and Billy Long.

Lennon is currently being monitored at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Kelowna, after being transferred from East Kootenay Regional Hospital (EKRH) where she was born.

The family's journey has been a challenging one, with Pelletier and Lennon being sent to Kelowna shortly after birth, while Billy Long stayed behind to care for their older daughter Naeh, who was recovering from COVID-19.

Lennon is finally gaining weight and starting to eat on her own, and the family is doing much better now.

A GoFundMe page has been started by Sonya Morigeau to help the family while they are in Kelowna, and funds will be used to cover anything Pelletier and her baby need, as well as travel costs when they are able to bring baby Lennon home.

The family is grateful for the support and is hopeful to be discharged from the hospital within the next week or two.
