A little more than a week after a wrong-way car crash killed a young Robstown mother and critically injured her daughter, the community is rallying to help.
Donations are coming in for 16-month-old Everly Gomez and her mom, 19-year-old Hayley Ramirez, who did not survive the crash.
The crash took place at 11:15 p.m. on Aug. 31 on FM 624 north of Robstown. The suspected wrong-way driver was also killed in the crash, less than an hour before his 23rd birthday.
The family tells 3NEWS that Everly is still in critical condition Friday with a spinal cord injury. She will have to be transferred to Houston for what the family calls a "long journey to recovery."
As of Friday evening, 37 people had donated to the GoFundMe for Everly, raising $2,678, a little more than half of the family's $5,000 goal.
Hayley Ramirez graduated from Banquete High School in 2022 and finished her EMT certification earlier this year.
