The Memphis community is rallying around the family of an 8-year-old girl named Chloe Williams, who tragically collapsed and died on the playground of the Libertas School of Memphis. The incident occurred last Monday and has since sparked an overwhelming display of support from locals and organizations alike.
According to Action News 5, the school has brought in grief counselors from various local services, including Alliance Health, Agape Child and Family Services, and the Shelby County Office of Youth Services, to assist students and staff in coping with the loss.
In response to the tragedy, two online funds have been established to help Chloe's family with expenses during this difficult time. A Take Them a Meal fund and a GoFundMe for funeral costs aim to provide some financial relief.
The executive director of Libertas School, Bob Nardo, expressed gratitude for the community's response. "Our school community has been bathed in an outpouring of love," Nardo said, according to FOX13 Memphis. He also mentioned the involvement of community leaders and board members, emphasizing the collective effort to support the school during the mourning period.
Memphis Police have stated there were no signs of foul play in Chloe's untimely passing, as reported by WREG. Despite the absence of wrongdoing, the sudden loss has deeply affected the school and the surrounding community as they come together to remember Chloe Williams and support her grieving family.
