Clayre Foundation
The summer months are in full swing, and many people turn to pools as a way to beat the heat. One valley family is working to help keep your loved ones safe.
Clayre Rukavina, only 1-year-old, drowned in her family pool just one day before her father planned on installing a pool fence in their backyard. She's just one of two children who have drowned so far this year, along with several near drownings.
To stop another child from losing their life so tragically, the Rukavina family is joining forces with the Nevada Community Foundation, UNLV, and Safe Kids to raise money to help families who can't afford pool fences. Joe Rukavina says although his daughter won't grow up to change the world, in death his daughter is leaving behind a legacy of the Clayre Foundation, which will help stop kids from drowning in pools. Clayre's family and the organizations partnering with them have already gathered a list of people who can't afford pool fencing.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the number of kids drowning in pools is on the rise. That's why safety advocates say pool fencing isn't enough. They are encouraging parents to take safety and drowning prevention courses along with CPR. So if the unthinkable happens, parents are prepared to deal with it.
