4-Yr-Old Derrick And Sister Harmony Died During Hurricane Helene

When he was heading back down to the bedroom where the other two children were sleeping, the house suddenly rocked as the oak tree fell on it. An electrical fire started and Crystal and Cassidy went running to a neighbor’s house to safety.

Cassidy phoned 911 and gave them the address. She said: “A tree fell on top of our house. My 4-year-old brother and my 7-year-old sister are in it. The house is on fire.”

Rescuers arrived and they put out the fire but the oak tree didn’t allow them access to the children. Unfortunately, they were trapped.

Meanwhile, Crystal was trying to reassure herself that her children would be okay. She passed the hours as they were trying to remove the tree envisioning her son asking for his favorite snacks and her daughter wanting some boiled white potatoes.

Unfortunately, the two children passed away instantly when the tree fell on the home.

The family is being supported financially by gifts from the community to the father’s cash app and a GoFundMe page. That crowdfunding page has already reached over $65,000 of the $100,000 goal.
