A fundraiser has been setup in the family's memory by a close friend, with more than £13,000 being donated so far to help Andy and Swala's daughter through recovery.
Funds are also being raised to help contribute to her parents' and brother's funeral.

"The family sadly leave behind their beloved eight-year-old daughter, who miraculously survived the accident.
"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."
