OSSINING, NY — Friends and family of Shina M. McClam, who died Dec. 23 when her car was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver who police say was intoxicated, have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her daughter and niece, who were injured in the crash.

McClam, 32, died in the crash. Her 6-year-old daughter Kennedy and her 18-year-old niece, Indya, both sustained serious injuries.

"Kennedy, Shina’s daughter, is facing both rehabilitation from her injuries and life without the loving presence of her mother. Indya has lost the aunt she loved and cherished," organizers said on GoFundMe.

The money raised will go to Kennedy's medical expenses and to start a college fund for both girls, they said.

So far, the campaign has raised $28,743. Its goal is $50,000.

Mark E. Cope, 41, of Yorktown, faces a manslaughter charge.
