„You all are like angels to us right now and we appreciate everything everyone has done,“ a family member said.
More than $50,000 has been raised for a Tennessee family whose 7-month-old twins were killed in catastrophic flooding on Saturday. The children’s parents were trying to escape the floods with their four children when the twins were swept away, WKRN-TV, a local television news station, reported. The twins‘ bodies were later found after an extensive search. The GoFundMe was set up to support funeral expenses and for the house the family lost in the floods. By 11:15 a.m. Monday, it had raised nearly $55,000. In an update, Joey Hall, who identified himself as a family member, said they are thankful for the support. „You all are like angels to us right now and we appreciate everything everyone has done. It is things like this of everyone helping that gets us through such hard times in life,“ Hall wrote. Donors expressed their grief and thoughts in the comments. One donor, Ashley White, said her „heart hurts“ for the family.
