Andrew Loku was a kind, hardworking man who lived alone in Toronto. He was trying to bring his wife and five children, who range in age from early to late teens, to Canada from South Sudan.

After years working odd jobs, Loku enrolled in George Brown College’s Construction Program in hopes of getting a better job, which would allow him to send more money back home to support his family.  After visiting his family in June, Andrew graduated from George Brown.

Andrew’s life came to a tragic and premature end in the early hours of Sunday, July 5th when he was shot by police.

Our hearts go out to Andrew’s family and friends, and to the South Sudanese community.

Please help CMHA Toronto and Across Boundaries raise funds to help with the costs of Andrew's funeral, and to provide support to his wife and five children in South Sudan.
