Jimmy Jones Jr. can't afford to bury his 2-year-old daughter, who died when two brick buildings collapsed in a small town in Arkansas
MORRILTON, Ark. — Jimmy Jones Jr. has to bury his 2-year-old daughter, and may have to trade in his motorcycle to pay for it.
With not much else to his name, the 20-year-old father said that may be the only way he can afford funeral arrangements for Alissa, who died Monday in the rubble when two brick buildings collapsed in a small town in central Arkansas.
Jones Jr. talked briefly about his daughter Tuesday, sitting in a Morrilton park where he last played with her two days before. He rolled up his shirt sleeve to show a tattoo of Alissa's image on his left arm. And he thought of his friends with young children.
"I hope they never have to go through this," he said.

Makes no sense. The owners of the buildings would be liable, not the parent.
Very sad, I hope that enough money is raised after the article runs.
