Floral tributes were left to Destiny Harrison and her daughter Linnea after the incident on Sunday.
Emergency services were called to Victoria Road, Plymouth, at around 9.45am on Sunday 24 March, to a report of a collision involving a car and two pedestrians.
The woman and girl were taken to hospital with serious injuries but later died, Devon & Cornwall Police said.
Now a family member has shared photos of the pair on GoFundMe as they try to raise funds for their funeral.
The post reads: “Hi everyone I’m trying to raise as much funds as possible for my sister and nieces funeral, who both sadly lost there lives on the 24/03/24 in a car accident in Plymouth.

"To us until we meet again your both together with wynter now rest easy love you more than I can describe 24/03/24 date will stay with me the rest of my life [sic]."
A 74-year-old woman from Plymouth has since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and of driving while unfit through drink or drugs following the incident.
She remains in police custody at this time.
The road currently remains closed and officers from the Roads Policing Team are carrying out investigations at the scene.
The force added any witnesses or anyone with information or dashcam footage that could help with enquiries should contact police.
