"Shannon Duffy Rogers, a childhood friend of ours, has lost her mother and husband at the age of 26 and is left with four children who are now in the Royal Hospital receiving treatment.
“We felt that raising money to help with funeral costs or just to help Shannon in anyway is the least we can do.
“As a community and people we feel helpless so anything we can do, I think we should.
“Any bit of kindness is appreciated.”
The third victim of Monday's crash was Jennifer Elizabeth Acheson from Tullylagan Road, Sandholes, Cookstown.
