Friends of Naomi Onotera have put together a GoFundMe page which raised nearly $14,000 in less than a week.
Alex Lohcham and Kylie Hannan, friends of Onotera’s sister say they put together the fundraiser to help the family during this “tough time.”
“The funds are going to go directly towards Naomi’s remaining family. Her two-year-old daughter will get any proceeds after any expenses,” says Lohcham.
The fundraiser goal is set at $25,000 to cover “expenses related to the case.”
“Anything that Naomi’s daughter will need over the next while will be covered by the proceeds and the rest will go into savings for her,” Lohcham explains.

Unfortunately for the family, this has been the first Christmas since Onotera’s death.
“They’re just trying to make Christmas as special as they can under the circumstances… They are so grateful and fortunate for everything that the community has put together for them. They can’t thank everyone enough.”
IHIT confirmed the body of the Langley mother and teacher had been found last week, and her husband was charged with manslaughter and indignity to human remains.
Naomi Onotera was last seen leaving her home without her car in August and her disappearance sparked community-wide concern.
The GoFundMe page remains open for donations.
