Family of hit and run victim Leonida Tumanda struggling to make ends meet

The husband of a woman killed by a hit and run driver in Vancouver earlier this month says he hopes the person responsible comes forward, but his priority is taking care of his children.

Ten days after losing 42-year old Leonida Tumanda, her family is preparing for a lifetime without her.

Nilo Tumanda says his youngest daughter will need someone to care for her when he goes back to work.

“She’s now my main concern because when I go back to work, I need somebody to help me take care of Anessa. She’s just four and a half years old and that’s my main concern.”
 
He says the child still doesn’t fully understand she’s never going to see her mother again.

A trust fund has been set up for the family at the TD bank.

Donations can be made at any branch by providing staff with the following information:

Branch:9466
Account number: 6345314

Police are still searching for the driver who struck Tumanda as she was walking home from work on the evening of December 2nd.
