Account Started For New Haven USD Worker

UNION CITY, CA — Friends and co-workers are coming to the aid of Cyndi Grine, who has worked for New Haven Unified School District for more than a decade. Her husband, Don Grine, was killed when he was struck by a vehicle in Hayward last Thursday night. He was identified by the Alameda County coroner's bureau on Tuesday.

Grine was hit by the vehicle near the intersection of A and Walnut streets at about 9:30 p.m. last Thursday and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The woman who was driving the vehicle that struck and killed Grine remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police said.

A GoFundMe account established to help Cyndi and her teenage daughter says, "Don was a great friend to many, and an even better father and husband to his family."

The website says Grine's sudden passing "left his wife and daughter in shock, grievance and with financial hardships."

The account says Grine "supported his family financially at the utmost level, working multiple jobs endlessly."

The GoFundMe account has raised more than $10,000.
