funeral and legal expenses for my daughter

Donation protected
This GoFundMe is to help me, mom, give my daughter Cassandra Callender a beautiful funeral, as she deserves. As some know, my daughter passed away Tuesday, 5/12/20, at home, in my arms. She lost her battle with cancer, after 5 years of treatment that did not work. She tried. She was strong, tough , and went through so much as such a young person. But she tried. As a single parent, its paycheck to paycheck. I've never asked for anything in my life till now. My heart hurts. I'm crushed. Cassandra was my only child. And precious she was. After all she has been through, beat up, strapped down, forced chemo, etc, then to lose her life so young, she deserves more. As many know her as " The CT Teen Who Refused Chemo", . We have been through 5 horrific years. I've lost my one and only. I've always taken good care of her, loved her unconditionally, and said I'd always be by her side. A parent never plans to bury their child. And as I struggle to figure how to give her a proper beautiful funeral, I just don't have the money,. So I am reaching out to you all, near and far, to help me out. I may feel lousy, down, etc , by doing this, but I would do anything for my daughter. She deserves better than what she fought for, for 5 years. But I was lucky enough to have her in my arms, and tell her I loved her, as she took her last breath. She is at peace, no pain, and in Gods hand, in Heaven. I hope no one has to go through what we did as a family. Again, I just want a beautiful send off for her, with lots of flowers, and people and friends to come and see her one last time. Its what she wanted. May you rest in peace, sweetie. I love you .
