Assistance for poisoned family

WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) -- Four members of a Delaware family who became seriously sick in the virgin islands are getting help with their medical care.

Members of CrossFit Wilmington presented a check for 25 thousand dollars today at DuPont Hospital for Children.

That's where teenagers, Sean and Ryan Esmond are still being treated, months after they were exposed to a powerful pesticide at a resort in Saint John.

The boys' parents, Steve and Theresa, were also hospitalized.

Terminix was investigating why one of its workers sprayed the pesticide indoors.
