Mother Buries All 5 Children After They Die In Horrible Fire On Her Birthday (photos)

 











The five young brothers and sisters who were killed in a fire two weeks ago were laid to rest this weekend as the community came together to honor the young victims.

The fire happened in an apartment building located in the 500 block of 29th Street in East St. Louis, Illinois Aug. 6. It started after the mother of the five children went to pick up another adult from work, according to the East St. Louis Fire Department.

When she returned home, the mother tried to get the children out herself, but she was unsuccessful. The fire started at about 3:45 a.m. It is unclear if the building had working smoke alarms

A memorial of balloons and stuffed animals created in the children’s honor continues to grow outside the apartment where the tragedy happened.

The victims will be remembered for being bright young kids whose smiles would light up any room and were loved by all.

Taylor says he’s grateful the community has rallied behind the victim’s family showing love and support and pulled together to make sure the funeral services were paid in full.

“When this occurred, our partners and business owners reached out to us and asked if they could support all of the funding for the services, and the burial was donated by business people,” Taylor said

The mother went in fight mode, desperately trying to re-enter the building and save her children to no avail.

It’s hard. It’s just so hard,” said Sabrina’s aunt Sheila Dunigan about the incident. Five months prior, the family’s home burned down causing them to move into the apartment with Dunigan’s parents. “Our family has never taken a hit like this, ever. We are devastated. We are broken.”

The tragedy happened on Dunigan’s birthday, hours before a friend was supposed to bring over balloons for her party.

The sudden fire reportedly started at around 3 a.m. on the second floor of the apartment building in East St. Louis across from the playground at Annette Harris Officer Elementary School.

There are mixed reports about who was in the building with the children during the time of the fire. Her mother’s sister said Sabrina’s parents, Greg and Vanicia Dunigan, were staying at the back of the apartment and the children were near the front
