Support for Deashia & Quinn After Tragic Accident
Donation protected
On July 4th, 2025, a devastating accident in Greenville, SC changed the lives of two sisters, Deashia Cruell and Quinn Hellams, forever. Both were struck by a drunk driver, along with two friends and their cousin, Chasity Nelson. Tragically, Chasity did not survive her injuries. Deashia and Quinn are still in the hospital—Quinn is slowly recovering, but Deashia remains in the ICU, fighting for her life. The family is facing an uncertain road ahead, with mounting medical bills and the emotional toll of this tragedy.
Their mother, Monica “Tia” Cruell, has not left their sides. She’s been living at the hospital, splitting her time between her daughters, and doing everything she can to support them. With both Deashia and Quinn unable to work, and Tia missing work to care for them, the family’s household bills and daily expenses are piling up. The hospital has strict rules about visitors, especially for Deashia, who needs a calm environment. The family is also carrying the heavy burden of loss, as Deashia and Quinn have not yet been told about their cousin’s passing.
Deashia’s young daughter is missing her mom deeply during this time, and the family is doing their best to love and support her while looking out for Deashia and Quinn. This fundraiser is a way for the community to rally around Tia and her girls, helping them focus on healing and recovery without the immediate worry of bills. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your support and prayers are deeply appreciated as the family navigates this incredibly difficult time.
