The father of the 5-year-old Queens girl allegedly slain by her mother cannot afford to lay his child to rest, the devastated man wrote in an online fundraiser.
“The funeral home and cemetery are asking for a deposit, and I do not have the money for it,” Kuldeep Singh — whose 5-year-old daughter, Fabiana Cabello, was found battered to death in her South Richmond Hill home on Wednesday — wrote on a GoFundMe page he created.
Taking to the campaign site two days after his daughter’s death, Singh wrote, “I am asking for help with her funeral and cemetery costs.
“I loved my daughter very much, and losing her feels like I lost my whole world.”
The heartbroken dad revealed that working as a cab driver has while dealing with such an unimaginable loss has been near impossible.
“I am trying to keep working as an Uber driver while driving a rental car, but I am grieving and struggling to manage these costs at the same time.”
Mom Francis Cabello, 32, was charged with murder on Thursday after she chillingly confessed to a 911 operator, “I killed my daughter,” cops and sources said this week.
Little Fabiana was found unconscious and unresponsive with blood on her nose and mouth inside the family home on 110th Street near 95th Avenue in South Richmond Hill just before 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Franklin Cabello, the tot’s grandfather, previously told reporters, “As a family, we feel mentally and physically destroyed. We can’t think [clearly] but we put our confidence in God.”
Cabello suffered from psychological issues, according to family. She may have strangled her daughter, prosecutors revealed at her arraignment Friday.
Preliminary autopsy results showed that the child “sustained scrapes to her face, as well as petechiae to her eyes, heart and lungs, findings which can be found in cases of asphyxia.” Her cause of death was pending further study.
Francis was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation after her daughter was found, cops said.
Singh is hoping to give his daughter “a proper funeral and cemetery service,” he wrote in the online post.
“Any donation, no matter the amount, would help ease this burden and support me during one of the hardest moments of my life.” he continued.
“If you are able to help, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser,” he pleaded. “Thank you for supporting my daughter and helping me honor her memory.”
