Nov. 14--A fund has been set up to help pay the funeral expenses of a 2-year-old girl who died after suffering injuries in a mobile home fire in Howell Township.

People can donate to the Ariana Rosemarie Robinson fund at any local PNC Bank branch, said Adela Piper, spokeswoman for the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency. She said the agency is working to help the girl's parents and older sister, who found temporary shelter with the assistance of the Red Cross, secure long-term housing.

The fire broke out early Tuesday morning in the Fairlawn Estates mobile home park. Officials said the girl had burns on nearly all of her body and died at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
