Fundraiser for family killed in car wreck shatters its goal

A fundraiser set up for a family from Manvel that was killed in a car crash has raised nearly $11,000 more than it originally asked for.

A Go Fund Me page to pay for the funeral expenses of the Dean family has raised almost $15,000 as of Sunday night. The post had set a goal of $4,000.

Anthony and Chelsi Dean were killed in a car crash near Billings, Montana while traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Their 5-year-old daughter Kaytlin and 1-year-old daughter Avri were also died in the wreck.

The family had just relocated to Grand Forks County in May from California. Anthony Dean was assigned to 69th Maintenance Squadron at Grand Forks Air Force Base.

Montana Highway Patrol discovered the scene of the accident early Saturday morning after searching for the family since Thanksgiving Day.
