NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal to help pay funeral expenses for four sisters killed in North Carolina house fire
NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is helping cover the funeral expenses for four young sisters who died in a house fire in North Carolina.
Kalani, 7, Kendall, 5, Josephina, 3, and Sophia, 2, were killed when flames engulfed their Columbus County home. Two other girls, aged 11, managed to escape. First responders arrived quickly, but the fire was too intense for them to enter safely.
O’Neal joined forces with sheriffs from Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina to pay the full cost of the memorial, easing the financial burden on the grieving family. The Henry County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia said the collaborative effort “fully covers the expenses associated with honoring the girls, lifting the financial burden from the grieving family.”
The sisters were remembered in their obituary as “bright lights who brought joy to everyone around them,” with individual loves ranging from sunsets and rainbows to pizza and the show Bluey. No adults were home at the time of the fire. The girls’ mother, Reagan Noelle Powers, has been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter and negligent child abuse with serious bodily injury.
