Time is ticking to place a bid in an online auction to support a Coquitlam-based charity that helps children who have lost a parent or sibling.
The Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity Society (CRCSS) has its open until 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, offering a total of 149 prizes like:

Launched on April 4 — on what would have been Reaveley’s 44th birthday — the auction funds resources and services for grieving children after they have lost a parent or sibling, and helps them to rebuild their lives.
Specifically, the charity provides one-on-one counselling for kids and their parent, a lending library, bursaries for graduating students, camps and toys.
The charity is named after Reaveley, a Pinetree Secondary graduate and mother of four to a drunk driver at the Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road intersection in 2011.
