Adorable disabled twin brothers aged just four both die trapped in horrific house blaze
Two adorable disabled twin brothers have been tragically killed after becoming trapped inside a horrific house fire in Tennessee.
Four-year-old Lathan and Langston McDaniel died on July 28 when flames tore through their Nashville home.
The fire started on an outdoor patio before spreading rapidly to the rest of the house, according to the Nashville Fire Department.
There were intense flames and smoke already reaching the roof when firefighters arrived.
The mother, Jessica McDaniel, and her three children were inside when the fire broke out.
She managed to escape the home with her youngest daughter, Lexi Rose, but was unable to reach her sons who were still upstairs.
It's unclear at this time what caused the fire. The fire department is conducting an investigation that could take weeks.
A GoFundMe has been created by a family friend to support the mother and her surviving child.
'I am trying to assist this family in renewing all that they have lost that is possible to replace.'
'We will never be able to get back their beautiful miracle twins, but maybe we can try to help replace all that has been lost.'
She said the young victims were 'micro-preemie survivors and had a lot of health challenges' but were 'absolutely the lights of our world.'
'Words cannot express the grief and despair this whole family (and the village it has taken to love and support them well) are currently experiencing.'
The campaign has raised just over $12,000 of its $30,000 goal so far.
A neighbor, Tiffany Dalton, told WSMV that the community is 'just sad and heartbroken.'
'Me being a mom, I can't imagine what she's going through.'
A friend of the family, Lacey Corbitt, told The Tennessean that the boy's mother has been 'broken' ever since the fire.
'They are physically ok,' she told the outlet, referring to the mother and her daughter but 'mentally, she's not ok.'
'It just leaves a huge hole in our hearts that they're gone. But it's amazing to see that the community is willing to help support and help them,'
