It's been one of the toughest weeks imaginable for migrant workers in the Niagara region.
The workers at Pioneer Flower Farms were forced to lean on the community for help after their living quarters and possessions were all destroyed in a massive greenhouse fire.
Generous donations of clothing and farming equipment have lifted spirits but some uncertainty remains about how many jobs will be lost.
Meanwhile, a vigil has been organized for this evening to honour a 33-year-old Mexican worker that was killed in a hit-and-run in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Sonia Aviles of the Migrant Workers Alliance says the victim's two surviving children will face hardships with the tragic passing of the family's main breadwinner.
An online fundraiser has raised over $32,000 in just four days.
Aviles says the Migrant Workers Alliance is calling on the federal government needs to review a long-term solution to these types of situations, as right now there is no safety net for workers' families in this type of situation.
There is a vigil tonight at 7 p.m. located close to where the 33-year-old was struck and killed on Concesion 7 Rd. and Line 6.
The vigil will honour all those who have passed while seeking out a better living in this country.
