Akyla Franklin Funeral Help
Donation protected
I never thought I would be setting up a GoFundMe for my 23 year old child ESPECIALLY because of cancer. This is something no one ever wants to go through but yet here we are getting ready to plan our daughters funeral. Akyla has fought so hard. She stayed so positive all the way through and was more worried about me than herself. When I had to explain to her that treatments were not working and they were stopping them was the only time she put herself first and she busted out and said ‘mommy I don’t want to die’ but she NEVER said why me, she never complained, she was so strong. She just kept telling me she wants me to be ok, she wants me to live my best life. She is the most caring selfless human being I’ve even known. She was so determined to live as long as she could. Even with all the pain not only from the cancer but the ichthyosis too she was still the sweetest love muffin ever. I don’t know how I am going to life without her. I don’t know how I’m going to pick up these pieces. Akyla is currently sedated in a medical coma now but she is still fighting. I keep telling her she can let go, she can go be with kitty now but I guess it’s hard for a warrior to give up. Her body is giving up but she is not. She is covered in tumors, pressure blisters on her ears, mouth so dry it’s sticking to her lips, her infected and tumored skin just liquifying yet she is still hanging on. She is fighting so hard that she is about to have to be moved to a different floor because they aren’t even allowed to give meds as high as she is about to get.
I had to quit my job over the summer to take care of her so I not only have no income I have no life insurance for her anymore.
Please consider donating and/or sharing so we can get her the best funeral ever, what she deserves.
Akyla my love you are my everything I love you so much
