Community support is flooding towards a mourning mother who lost two of her sons earlier this week in a fatal collision just outside of Langham, Sask., approximately 30 kilometres north-west of Saskatoon.
The two children, a four-year-old boy and a nine-year-old boy, died in a crash involving a passenger truck and a semi-tractor trailer on Highway 16, roughly 50 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.

A GoFundMe campaign has since been started to collect donations for the family's tragic loss.
"I'm just trying to help [her] and her family with costs of funeral arrangements for the two boys," D'arcy Michele Nemanishin, creator of the GoFundMe page, wrote to CBC. "[I'm] also hoping to raise some money to help while she's off work."
Nemanishin said the money will also be used to help the other young boys injured in the crash.
With a goal of raising $3,000, the crowdfunding campaign has reached more than $4,000 in the past 24 hours.
"[The] community has been overwhelmingly supportive," said Nemanishin.
She said the town's bar, Shyster's Tavern, is also collecting donations for the family.
