Melizabeth, Carolina, and Norma Robles are three little girls all fighting for their lives.

They were all passengers in a black Nissan Altima on April 15th---when the driver, Fabian Reyna, lost control of the car.

The crash sent Fabian and the girls’ cousin, Daisy Lucio through the windshield.

Daisy and Fabian were killed instantly.

“I just want for them to be ok,” Dora Robles, the girls’ mother said through tears.

The youngest, Melizabeth, is still unconscious and on a ventilator.

The oldest, Carolina, has a broken pelvis and ribs.

The middle child, Norma, has a broken arm and foot.

All three remain in intensive care.

For Dora, it is almost too much to bear.

The family has no insurance—no way to pay for the mounting medical bills that will soon start coming their way.

"It is going to be difficult for everyone,” She started. “I don't have anything to help them."

Dora said the future looked bleak—until the community of San Manuel stepped in.

They hosted a barbeque fundraiser for the Robles family and the families of Fabian and Reyna.

100 percent of the proceeds will go to help these families as they try and pick up the pieces from this tragedy

"I thank everyone so much for the help," Dora sobbed. “Thank you so much.”
