Fundraiser For 7 Kids Who Lost Mom In Crash

OAKLAND, CA — When Christina Marie Davis of Oakland was killed in a crash in Jacksonville, Florida, in late March, she left behind seven children ranging in age from 5 to 15 years old. The fiery crash killed four people and injured three others.

The family had traveled to Florida to help a relative pack up their belongings and relocate to California. They were stuck in Florida because of the tragedy until United Airlines stepped in to fly the family back to California. They spent Mother's Day at home - their first without their mom.

Six of the children attend schools in Oakland: Bridges Academy, Alliance Academy, and Castlemont High School.

A GoFundMe has been set up by Davis' husband, LaDonald Griffin. It reads, in part, "Please help us support these young people as they restart their lives without their mother."

Here's where you can donate.
