What they're saying "Everybody had, like, people raising money for them, and I just noticed that she hadn't asked for anything," Scott said. "The loss of my beautiful daughter Xana has been the hardest thing I never thought I would have to endure. If you are not able to donate, prayers are even more appreciated. My hope is that truth and justice through God will be accomplished," Xana's mom said in a statement. "Even though I've lost my child, I can't imagine losing a child in the way that she has even more than me, and I just wanted to make it so she could be there for the trial, because that's important, that she be able to see for herself that justice is being served," Scott said. She told Fox 13, Xana's mom has been blown away by the support. "She's just really sweet and appreciative," Scott said. "The people that are donating for this are actually the heroes, they're helping her get there, and it means the world to her. it really means the world to her." She adds, the ultimate goal is to raise $50,000. Those funds will cover any and all of Cara's expenses as she takes off from work and relocates from North Idaho to Boise during the duration of the trial. The family of Kaylee Goncalves also has a GoFundMe to help them attend the trial. Madison Mogen's family also has a GoFundMe to help them attend the trial.
