Fundraiser launched to help 8 year old from Chesterfield orphaned after horror crash
Dad Andy Moore, mum Swala Harding and 14 year old Sebastian Moore were all fatally injured last month
A fundraiser has been launched to help an 8 year old girl from Chesterfield who has been left orphaned after a crash which killed her mum, dad and brother.
Dad Andy Moore, mum Swala Harding and 14 year old Sebastian Moore were all fatally injured in a single vehicle smash on the M5 on May 30, while returning from a holiday in Cornwall.
The couple's eight year old daughter was injured but survived the crash, with a fundraiser now set up to help her rebuild her life.
The page on GoFundMe reads: "Andy & Swala’s daughter is doing well in her recovery but it will undoubtedly be a long and hard road back to full health, both physically and mentally."
"To help their lovely little girl adapt to her new future and help contribute towards the cost of her parents and brother's funeral, we're asking if people would help us raise some money to make her life that little bit easier."
Over £18,000 has been gathered for the family so far.
Chesterfield Panthers RUFC, of which Sebastian was a member, wrote in their own statement: "Seb joined Chesterfield Panthers RUFC at the start of this season, becoming part of our Under 15s squad."
"While he had spent much of his rugby journey with Tupton Rugby Union Football Club , Seb and Andy became part of our club like they had always been with us — respected by teammates, coaches and parents alike.
"Seb was a kind, calm and friendly young man, always willing to listen, always with a smile, and always giving his best for the team.
"Andy’s presence on the sidelines and around the club was just as valued — warm, supportive and easy to talk to.
"He was a lovely man and a true gentleman who, like his son, became part of our club in the most natural and meaningful way.
"Both Seb and Andy left a lasting impression on everyone who met them, and their loss is deeply felt by all of us.
"Swala’s passing is equally heartbreaking. Though not as closely involved at the club, it is clear how much love and warmth she brought to her family, and how deeply missed she will be by those who knew her."
