The vigil is hosted by Young Explorers Childcare, which is the daycare center the child attended.
The ceremony begins at 6 p.m. Thursday Feb. 16 at the daycare center, 399 Dover Road in South Toms River.
The daycare center's staff is collecting donations to help the family pay for burial expenses, with 100 percent of all proceeds going directly to the family.
Donations will be collected at the vigil, but can also be dropped off or mailed to the daycare center, made out to the Young Explorers Donations can be mailed to the above address and made out to Young Explorers, 399 Dover Road, South Toms River, NJ 08757.
Just after 1 p.m. Saturday, Toms River Police responded to an emergency call of an injured child in the eastern section of the township, police said.

so sad. this is the first i am hearing of this. when my daughter was 2 she pulled out the bottom drawer of a 4 ft. dresser to climb up to reach her sneakers. the dresser fell on her and she screamed. i ran in and could only see her two little hands sticking out. she was bruised very badly and thankfully survived. this brings back that memory for me. I feel for the family, may she RIP. my deepest condolences to the family.
