    I am sure some of you in Houston have heard about this in the news from a few weeks ago, but figured I would post for those who have not. Just a terrible tragedy for everyone. 2 of the kids are paralyzed.

    There have been lots of fundraisers set up for these children, and luckily the support and attention facebook/twitter has given has helped increase donations. Even if you don't donate, just keep them in your prayers. Anything helps.




    Children of tragic car wreck victims Robin and Joshua Berry are back in Houston recovering from injuries sustained in the July 2 crash in west Texas that killed their parents.

    The two boys, Peter, 9, and Aaron, 8, were transferred from Lubbock to a Houston hospital late Wednesday night, July 6.

    Both boys are being treated for spinal injuries.
    ...
    The Berry's daughter, Willa, 6, is now staying with family friends in Houston. She was treated at Covenant Hospital in Lubbock for a broken arm and ankle.

    The children arrived home the night their parents were buried at Beth Yeshurun cemetery. Nearly 2,000 people attended the double funeral service at the synagogue.

    In their eulogies, family members and rabbis pledged to honor the parents' memories by taking care of the children.

    The children's aunt and uncle, Matt and Simone Berry, have been named legal guardians.

    Joshua and Robin were killed in an auto accident over the July 4 holiday weekend while driving through Fort Stockton, Texas, on their way back home from a family vacation in Colorado.

    Please help support the rehabilitation and growth of the Berry children by donating to their Fund at the "Donate Now" page linked to the left. If you have previously donated elsewhere, your donation will funnel through to the same account linked here via paypal.

    May their parent's memories be for a blessing.

    My sister was friends with Robin Berry. This tragedy has really shaken her, as well as the whole Houston Jewish community. Such an unbelievably sad story.
