GoFundMe page for my daughter question.?

Anyone who has ever met my 6 year old has always remarked on how beautiful and smart she is. But she is also so emotionally intelligent and empathetic at such a young age and the sophisticated dry sense of humor for a 6 year old- I don't know where she got it but it makes many of the family and friends who know her laugh while impressed. I'm afraid she got it from being around me as her custodial parent. Her dad and I split 4 years ago. I was a teenage mom having her at 17 and now at 24 suffer from chronic back pain and mental illness. Bipolar, borderline I don't really know I was an incest survivor of 7 yrs from one of my older brother's who was 6 years older. Something is wrong with my brain and I can't fix it. I shouldn't have had my beautiful daughter but I was 17 and my Christian parents thought it murder to abort- I'm glad they did because I believe she can do so much in life. But I was also very naive and selfish at 17 and couldn't bare thinking of adoption. I had many thoughts of what if she ended up being abused instead of what if she ended up in a family that could financially and emotionally give her what was needed to do well in this life. I'm planning to commit suicide in a month to relieve the burden of my mental dysfunctions on everyone that it effects.

    Do you know how hard your daughters life is going to be if you commit suicide? It will affect her forever.

    It sounds like you've been through some trauma, but you can outlive this.

    Many people walk the earth with issues like yours.. You have the power within yourself to fight whatever 'demon' you have.

    Everyone has something.

    Go to counseling, try and help others maybe with a Similar situation and be the strongest person you can be. No one is perfect sweetie, keep your chin up or at least try.

    I also want to say this. Given your history... And you worry that your daughter will go through the same thing.. I believe it is your job as a parent to stick around and assure that this type of abide will not take place. No one takes care of a child like its own birth mom so please don't do it. You will traumatize her, which is exactly what you are trying to PREVENT.

    I am going to sell my car and put the (around 3,000) I'll get for it as well as the back child support coming in next month that was withheld from my ex's taxes (around 5,000) into a savings account for her that she can touch when she's 18. My question is I have a lot of friends/family on Facebook, I was wondering if I set up a GoFundMe account for my daughter the night of completing the suicide and share it onto Facebook, will that selfish that I'm trying to get money for her? I haven't researched GoFundMe very much yet, but I'm hoping there's a way to have any donations go to her savings account, for college, future troubles I don't know but also any financial help the family needs to take care of.

    First off, please don't commit suicide. You said it yourself that you have a beautiful and smart daughter. I'm pretty sure you don't want to see her grow up knowing that her mother killed herself. If you didn't feel like you had a reason before, well now you do. You are here to help your beautiful, smart, intelligent and funny daughter grow up to make a difference in this world.

    Secondly, I am assuming your question is how to raise money for your daughter. Get one or two jobs and have a friend or family member baby sit her. Get easy jobs because of your mental disabilities.

    Lastly, I'm pretty sure you can find a way to get money from the government. At least in California you can.
