(KMZA)--A fundraiser for the the surviving family members of Rebecca Crismas has been launched.

The Wetmore resident died Thursday in a double vehicle Nemaha County crash after her vehicle was struck by a semi.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the 37-year-old Crismas failed to yield when entering U.S. Highway 36 from W Road, and dense morning fog may have played a factor.

The now launched fundraiser includes support for funeral costs, transportation, and items for her three children, also injured in the wreck, along with their 4 siblings, ranging in age from 1 to a high-school sophomore.

Their father is now their sole caretaker.

The push for donations is being spearheaded by Connie Ramirez, of Wetmore, with drop off points for the collection effort now set up. They include the Northeast Kansas Multi County Jackson County Health Department, in Holton; the Northeast Kansas Multi County Brown County Health Department, in Hiawatha; the Northeast Kansas Multi County Atchsion County Health Department, in Atchison; and the Nemaha County Community Health Services, with offices in Seneca and Sabetha.
