A grieving family is getting help from the community in the wake of a devastating hit and run crash.
The man's niece wrote, "Hi, my name is Tayla. Last night at 9:30 my uncle, a brother, a cousin, a friend, and most importantly a dad of 3 young girls got killed in a hit and run. He left behind 7 sisters, a bunch of close cousins and friends, nephews and nieces, and 3 young daughters. The point of this fundraiser is to raise money for these 3 girls to raise for any school funds and help with the funeral and any other expenses. Please… Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou."
