MENDON - One minute the Ferguson family of Mendon was getting ready for Christmas. Presents were purchased and already wrapped. The next minute the family was planning a funeral for their two youngest boys and dealing with two injured daughters.
"My heart just breaks for them," said the Ferguson's family friend Deborah Gardner, "It's a nightmare."
On Saturday, one of the sisters was driving back from a busy morning of basketball games when she lost control of her car and was T-boned by an oncoming car. 7-year-old M'Gwire Ferguson was killed and 10-year-old Bridger was flown to the hospital in critical condition where he was later taken off life support.
Two other children were sent to the hospital and have since returned home. To add to the difficulty of the situation, the night of the accident, the family's basement flooded.
"If it were me and my family I would hope to get some help," said Gardner.
Friends have set up an account at any Wells Fargo bank under the name "Ferguson Family Help Fund." You can also visit their Facebook page and offer a message of support.
