The Antelope County News is not releasing the identities of the victims or family at this time.

"I am asking for the community to wrap their arms around these children in love and support and prayer. With this tragedy being a few days before Christmas, a group of us are working together to try to provide these kids with some gifts and gift cards to be delivered to them on Christmas Eve," Dawn Nelson said.

Although clothes are being accepted, Nelson said the most helpful form of donation is monetary or gift cards, such as to Thriftway Market, HyVee, Target or other locations.

Other donations can be dropped off at the Tilden Library. The ages of five children are 17-girl, 16-boy, 13-girl, 12-boy, and 10-boy. The sizes of clothing are mens size medium,  ladies size small,  ladies size medium, youth boys size XL, youth boys size L.
