I'd be happy to help if the famiy needs support. Does not have to be as a CD representative, just as an individual who was touched by the story.
Given that there was an MP involved, I do hope the family is already getting advice on couselling for the wife and the kid.
The big question in my mind is what kind of support is Shell giving the family? I read the following article and was really disappointed. They may not have a legal responsibility, but I think they have a moral responsibility to do more. However (and unfortunately), the way things work, this won't happen until there is a bigger media/community hue and cry.

Are you there?
All diplomatic responses in the article....ridiculous
We all should write a letter to shell and sign it...virtually..and send it... post it on everyones facebook and have all sign it....
send it to shell thru media !
Yes, I considered doing this (already got a list of Shell Canada's executive team names). However something like this would be more fruitful with the family's support. This is why I posed a question earlier for the user who mentioned he/she called the family. I'm curious to know how the family feels about support received from Shell before doing this - if there have been some efforts in the background by Shell that they have not publicized and the family is happy, no point doing this.

All Desi's should ban Shell stations and they should pay compensation to this family.
Just depsoited $100 in the account given by TK. Interstingly, the teller knew about the case (and she was non desi) so was very heartening to hear it from her. Hopefully we can do our little bit in whatever way it helps.
I read above that a fellow CD knows his brother? Could you please PM me the name and telephone number of his if possible
Finally deposited money into Vaishaliben's account yesterday.
My husband completed this task today finally......
