A group has come forward to provide a home for the surviving family members of two Detroit children who tragically died in a cold van in a casino parking garage. The funeral for Darnell Currie Jr., 9, and A’millah Currie, 2, was held on Thursday, honoring their young lives cut short in a heartbreaking incident.
The children were part of a group of five children and two adults who were in a van that stopped producing heat as temperatures plummeted far below freezing on February 10. The tragic event has left the community in mourning and reflecting on the vulnerability of those in need.
