Crystal Whitely

Before the storm, Crystal Whitely was the ultimate single mother taking care of her three kids and working as a personal care aid. Crystal loved working with her clients that were disabled and elderly, but her kids are her life. The night of the storm, the whole family took cover in the bathtub, but moments later, the house was pulled off its foundation. Though she tried desperately to hang on to them, 10 year-old Shante and 6 year-old Trentan were ripped from Crystal’s arms. Only Crystal and her 4 year-old daughter, Keana, survived.
