Background

Hi my name is Ashley Scott. I am 34 years old. Back in January our family endured a horrible tragedy of the passing of Michael Lee Baranchak at the age of 36 years old. Michael and I have a amazing/beautiful daughter together. Her name is Kylie Marie Baranchak and she just turned 19 years old on June 30th. Kylie was Michael’s only daughter. Mike’s passing was a huge shocker for all of us especially for Kylie. Kylie has been holding up pretty much as much as anyone can after losing a parent especially at such a young age. Kylie is a South Allegheny High School Graduate Class of 2021. Kylie is very special in her own ways. She has been a straight A student since Kindergarten and was the captain of the cheerleading squad at her school. Kylie also has always been a very hard worker. She started work the day she was legally allowed too work. She is a very responsible young lady. She is now a manager at a Bob Evans Restaurant that she has worked at for almost 3 years now. She also has a boyfriend (Nathan Klein) of almost 6 years now and so when They both had graduated High School they decided too move in together. So now they have a nice apartment with there kitty “Grayson “.

Although Ky loves her job she was very excited too go too College too be a certified Nurse! But unfortunately her nursing dreams came too a hault do too her father’s unexpected death back in January. She still has plans on going too Nursing school but as many know being Ky is Michaels only daughter she became his next of kin, at which at age 18 she was definitely not nearly ready or prepared for that kind of responsibility. At the time his side of the family had helped with some funds for the funeral and also too help Kylie pay her rent and bills during this horrific period. Michael has now been out angel for a little over 7 months now and Kylie still does not have her father’s remains at home due too a pretty high balance due too the funeral director. Now, our family (which is very small) is not so much on the wealthy side of thing’s as well as many many of us out there so when we can help her even if it is $10 we try our best. As a mother watching my daughter lose someone so precious too her absolutely tears me too pieces because I wish I can make everything all better for her but I can’t unfortunately. Every time I speak with my daughter she always says “I just want my daddy here at home with me so I can feel whole again “. It absolutely tears me apart knowing how badly she is grieving and I can’t help her in the way she needs help! With all that being said on behalf of my daughter Kylie if anyone is able too donate anything too help her get her daddy home we would be so grateful and blessed for people like you out there. I always say “No good deed never goes on being punished “ because any act of kindness or any good deed that may happen I know as well as god knows that when we get blessed then you better believe others will also be blessed. Always pay it forward no matter what life throws at you good or bad there is always someone that may need your help weather it’s help with money or even food or maybe housing! You never know but I do know paying it forward is the best feel in the world because years ago someone had so gratefully blessed me and ever since I do what I can when I can too help anyone. Times are definitely tough right now and if anyone understands it’s definitely our family. Even if it’s a $1 we are so so thankful for that. My wish is for too raise enough money too pay off the remaining balance so my beautiful daughter can finally feel at ease knowing her Daddy will be home with her. Thank you all ahead of time for everything, I mean just taking the time out too read our story is truly a blessing.
God Bless Everyone 🙏📿🧎‍♀️
