The family of a woman from Ontario, killed in Hurricane Dorian as the storm tore through the Bahamas, have started a Gofundme page to bring her remains home.
Alishia Liolli, 27, is from the Windsor area. In less than 24 hours, the online fundraiser has already surpassed its goal of $25,000. At the time of publication, the page has raised $32,196.

Around 30 people are now confirmed dead in the island nation.
