GREENSBORO, N.C. — It's now been more than a month since a house fire in Greensboro killed 3 children, all under the age of five.
A local Facebook group is providing support.
Triad stay-at-home and working moms recently donated items to the first responders who worked the call.
Founder, Emily Coleman said the group raised money to give Food Lion gift cards to the firefighters, EMS and police officers.
Coleman said they recognized how tough it might've been to respond to such a devastating call.
"So many of these first responders are parents themselves and probably have kids these ages that passed away. It just would keep me up every night. I can't imagine having to respond to something like that and have that in my brain as a thought," said Coleman.
"This incident was a little different than normal for people to understand the job that we do and the risk and things that you take being a firefighter. It's nice to just have that support," said Captain Josh Evans with the Greensboro Fire Department.
Coleman said they're also giving gift cards to the grandmother of the surviving children.
Along with the cards, the group said it donated a wishlist of food, school supplies and clothes to those children.
"I have twins actually and I know two of the boys that passed away they were 1-year-old twin boys and I actually have twin girls but they're nine. They're older but I have 9-year-old twins and a 7-year-old and so as a fellow twin mom it hit me. I would've helped anyway. It wasn't because, but I felt an extra kind of kinship to this situation," said Coleman.
The Facebook group donated 250 items in total to the family.
