22 Year Old Twins Die Tragically and the Family Can't Pay For the Funeral PLEASE HELP!!

Hey Everyone,

My daughter was best friends with a girl named Liz Sebby in Jr. High and they have continued to talk over the years.

Last Friday morning Liz and her twin sister were both killed in a tragic accident and while the family has to deal with the sudden loss of both girls as well as having to explain to their grandchildren why their mommy's aren't coming home anymore, they were also told they have to have at least $2650 before they can even begin to make funeral arrangements.

I have put a link to a page my daughter and I put together to try to help raise at least a few $$ to help with this enormous tragedy.

They need $25,000 altogether and we all know that every $1 helps so since this is where I hang out most lol :p, I thought I would see if I can get some help from you guys.

I considered trying to put an article pack together but spent all day going back and for with my daughter just trying to get the donation page up and this needs to be taken care of like yesterday

PLEASE!! Click the link in my sig and give anything that you can even if it is just $1. Every little bit we an raise will take a little bit more pressure off of this already devastated family.

There are pictures of both girls with their kids on the page. They were 22 and Liz had a 15-18 month old (was in the car and somehow survived) and was due to have her second girl on Dec. 12 (another added loss to the family).

Casey had 2 girls as well ages 4 and 6.

I didn't add the car to the donation page but so you can see how bad this was I was going to add it here. Everyone one says it's too shocking and not to post it here but seriously take a look at these young girls and give what ever you can. I am going to keep taking donations until they have what they need for the funeral and if by chance they end up with any thing extra they can use it for the little girls that were left without mommies.

Thank you all so much for understanding and as my daughter said if you can't donate at least say a prayer for them

    PLEASE guys, come on $1 won't hurt you and it will help this family so much. I am begging now. I am hoping to get to at least $1000 for these girl's funerals and I know that the family will appreciate it so much.

    You can google Liz Sebby and see that it's real if you have any doubts but I really thought since I have been on for a while that you might just help me out without doubting my motives.

    Please take the time to donate even $1

    Thanks again,
    Kim

      It's not much but I contributed. Unfortunately, this week had a lot of bills to be paid so it didn't leave me with a whole lot in my PayPal at the moment.

      Sorry to hear of this tragedy and I think it's wonderful that you're trying to help.

      Wow! this isn't really something that can wait. These girls died last Friday and there should already have been a wake and funeral.

      Can you imagine having someone die and not being able to bury them and move on with your life? These were just babies on top of it.

      I am a little surprised at your reaction and if you can't help that's fine.

      Thank you Tina so much for your generosity!!

    okay so I am here again asking for your help.. we are at just over $200 and were hoping to raise $1000 to make a dent in the financial burden here.

    I for one keep seeing 3 little girls crying for Mommy and they need to at least have a place that they can tell these girls this is where Mommy is....

    Please, understand and feel something... dig a $1 out of your couch... I know you might not believe it but I found $2 in my laundry today and put it aside for this... One of my kids who I know makes so much money it isn't funny said I am broke... what.. I am broke but I put in over $30 and I'll get over it.

    but this family won't get over it.. Please give anything I just want to help them

    Just wondering if it'd be appropriate to post a link to a news story I found on the internet about this in case anyone doubted:

    Deadly Crash in Dayton | WEEK News 25 - News, Sports, Weather - Peoria, Illinois | Local

    Good luck in raising the money.

    Quite tragic.

      I really appreciate your sharing this news story. I know there are probably other stories that were written after Casey died. She was taken to one hospital and air lifted to another but also died later that Friday.

      Somehow Mya (I think that's how you spell it) Liz's 15 month old was completely fine.

      I have seen a picture of the suv and that in itself is a miracle no matter how well she was strapped in.

      Thank you for your help

      As John has said, "Warriors take care of their own." We can also consider helping others in need in this tragic event.

      Maybe Warriors reading this will also send an appeal to their lists with a link to the news article and the donation page.

      Warriors may also ask their church to consider a small donation from their help fund.

    For those who might be interested, I don't know how much or where they got the money to do this but the wake is tomorrow, Tuesday, October 3rd 2011 and my daughter and I will be there.

    The funeral will be Wednesday morning. We are still trying to help them with the costs of all of this but the main objective has been accomplished. The girls and the unborn baby will finally be laid to rest.

    Thank you to anyone who donated even a $1 because it really did help
