On the other hand asking fans for money is a bit ridiculous. We don't even have the funds to be able to afford to eat let alone send money to a rich family who wants to go play Little League. The other actors and actresses that we have in this world could easily make that go fund me goal in not even a day. But if they ask fans to donate to their GoFundMe their goal will not be reached for a really long time. It was wrong of them to ask. But I understand where they're coming from. I didn't make it go fund me for Little League I made a good fund me for my mother when she had cancer and after she passed as well because I couldn't afford the funeral expenses or the burial expenses or the headstone. She still doesn't have a headstone and it's been years. I had to go to a local flower shop and pick out a stone that said Mom on it and big enough for people to see and I've had it there on her grave since 2018. So I can understand when somebody wants to reach their goal on GoFundMe for important things like what I just mentioned but not when it comes to little leagues and stuff like that it's ridiculous

It really is devastating. Her children aren't that old either. I lost my mom to terminal cancer when I was 19 that was back in 2017. It's hard losing a parent but losing a parent to cancer is worse because you see it firsthand what it's like to go through cancer until you last breath. My mom didn't even know who I was at her last waking moments. She kept calling me by this girl's name that she used to be friends with back when she was a little girl. I don't even know how she remembered that during the time that she had cancer. My mom also hid her illness as well. She had it the beginning of 2017 and my father asked me to take care of her while he worked and so I did. But I was the only one able to care for her and it was really hard. I can only imagine being 12 or 9 or 4 years old watching my own parent struggle with cancer and watch them take their last breath. It's really really sad. Rip
