Help The Delco Kids Who Called For Help As Parents Overdosed

Recently, two Delaware County parents were arrested for drug and child endangerment charges after overdosing on heroin when their two young children were at home with them. Now, a family member is asking for the community's help supporting the two young kids whose parents are in the court system.

Samantha Dicianno – the sister of Sandra Dicianno and sister-in law of Sean Dolhancryk – set up a GoFundMe Page to help support her 60-year-old mother who is caring for the 1- and 4-year-old children. The children were left their parents overdosed on heroin.

Samantha Dicianno is seeking $5,000 to help provide for the children.

"Now my mother who is 60 has both of them and we all help as much as we can but this sudden change has my family in need," Samantha Dicianno writes on the crowd funding page.

Dolhancryk and Sandra Dicianno, both of Upper Darby, are facing charges of possession of a controlled substance; possession of drug paraphernalia; endangering the welfare of a child; and recklessly endangering another person, court records show.

The charges came after a neighbor of Dolhancryk and Dicianno heard kids screaming Wednesday, June 7 from inside the Upper Darby home and when police arrived they found the two adults suffering from overdoses in the bathroom.

Police told Philly.com they found three empty bags of heroin, seven full bags, two hypodermic needles, and a bent spoon when they entered the bathroom where Dolhancryk and Dicianno found unconscious.

Both are set to appear for their preliminary hearings on June 16, court records show.
