A Boise family continues mourning the death of their 2-year-old daughter who died last month after the family’s truck caught fire on the Boise Bench.
Rollerdrome Skating Rink in Nampa hosted a fundraiser aiming to help the family cover their medical bills during their recovery as three family members remain in the hospital.
A portion of Thursday night’s admission and rental sales will be sent to Kenny and Rachel Homer.
Rollerdrome Owner, Josh Leanty said, “It’s special to me as far as them losing a kid, we want to help lessen the burden and what’s happening with them try to give back the best that we can. Thats the only way I know how to give back to them and it’s not hard for us to make a decision to do it”
I caught up with the parents via zoom from the burn unit in Salt Lake City. One day after their daughter Onix would have turned three years old.
“She was the sweetest little girl you would’ve ever met, she was just so kindhearted and so funny,” said Rachel Homer.
The fire that killed 2-year-old Onix left 4-year-old Eevee, 10-month-old Dragonair and mother Rachel Homer severely burned.
