The families of around fifty victims who were run over during a Christmas parade in Milwaukee claim that the injuries they suffered put their lives at risk, and that among them there are many minors.

Jackson Sparks, 8, died Tuesday of injuries sustained . The information was shared by her family on the GoFundMe page she created to raise funds. Meanwhile, his brother Tucker Sparks, from 12 years, he could soon be discharged . They were both marching with their baseball team when the tragedy occurred.

On Monday a little girl who is a member of an onslaught dance group woke up. On her fundraising page, created by a family friend, the girl’s mother wrote that “no child or parent should have to endure this amount of pain and suffering” .

Another page with the same purpose is illustrated with the photograph of a girl identified as Jessalyn , smiling along with other girls from her dance group, in a postcard captured moments before the tragedy.

Oscar Luna, a friend of the family, created the fundraising page , which details that the girl “fights for her life”, after losing a kidney, suffering a pelvic fracture and damage to the liver and lungs .

In the 22 verified pages on GoFundMe for the victims of the parade, as of Tuesday afternoon almost $ 900,000 Dollars; a community fund for victims had more than $ 916, 000 until the same term.
