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. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe funeral home and cemetery are asking for a deposit, and I do not have the money for it,\u201d Kuldeep Singh \u2014 whose 5-year-old daughter, Fabiana Cabello, was found battered to death in her South Richmond Hill<\/a> home on Wednesday \u2014 wrote on a GoFundMe page he created.<\/p>\n

Taking to the campaign site two days after his daughter\u2019s death, Singh wrote, \u201cI am asking for help with her funeral and cemetery costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved my daughter very much, and losing her feels like I lost my whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n
