Plans for the future of an 11-year-old girl who lost her immediate family in a horrific crash which claimed six lives have been revealed in a fundraiser for her.
On Sunday (21 July), a collision occurred involving a car and a motorbike on the A61 near Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Shane Roller, 33, his partner Shannen Morgan, 30, and their daughters Rubie and Lillie Morgan-Roller, aged nine and four, were killed in the crash.
The family are survived by their 11-year-old daughter Poppie, who was not with them at the time of the crash as she was playing round at a friend's house.

Neighbours said they were the 'kindest family', and the local primary school has also paid tribute.
Police have since named 56-year-old Christopher Barton and his 48-year-old wife Janine as the couple on the motorbike who also lost their lives.
Their son described them as 'a loving, caring mum and dad who always put me before everything else'.
Having suffered a terrible tragedy, people have rallied round the 11-year-old and a GoFundMe was set up to raise money to help her.
The initial goal was £3,000, but it has long since surpassed that target and now, it's been explained what the money will go towards.
At time of writing, the GoFundMe has surpassed £311,000 in donations, and the GoFundMe is being organised by a man named Paul Hepple.
He recently provided an update in response to people asking about his connection to the 11-year-old girl.
The organiser said he'd 'received several messages' on the subject and people were also wanting to know 'how the donations will be allocated'.
In an attempt 'to provide some clarity', Hepple explained that he was a family friend and the 11-year-old was 'best friends with my stepdaughter'.
He went on to say that the girl had been staying with them since the crash, but her aunt would be her new guardian and that was where 'every penny will go directly' that was raised by the GoFundMe.
The 11-year-old will move to live with her aunt, described by Hepple as 'an amazing, loving and capable guardian' who 'will be entirely responsible for managing the donations'.
The money will go towards her 'well-being, including her living expenses, education and any counselling she may need'.
Hepple added that if the family chooses, then some of the money may go towards the cost of the funerals.
