A GoFundMe page has been set up by the family to help cover funeral costs of the two Derry boys involved in a crash in County Donegal on Saturday night.
Cousins Eoghan and Kian Dawson both tragically passed from the tragic single-vehicle crash at Cross, Quigley's Point, at 11.15pm.
Donations have been flooding into the family since the launch of the GoFundMe page, with over £20,000 being donated at the time of writing.
The post on the fundraising page said: “We are the family of the boys involved in the recent tragedy. A quick trip to their favourite place soon turned into a living nightmare.
“Two beautiful cousins, Eoghán (20) and Kían (16), were involved in a fatal road accident and now will remain forever young.
“We would be extremely grateful if you could please donate what you can to help cover funeral costs and alleviate the pressure from our devastated family. Thank you.”

Kían’s remains will be reposing in his home, 23 Carnhill, from 7 pm on Monday. Funeral from there on Thursday at 10.30 am for 11 o’clock Requiem Mass in St Brigid’s Church, Carnhill. Interment afterwards in St Mary’s Cemetery, Ardmore.
Family flowers only, please. Donations in lieu of flowers, if wished, to Youthlife, 23 Bishop Street, Derry, BT48 6PR.
