McCoy's mother, Stephanie Howard, set up a GoFundMe with the goal of raising $7,000 for McCoy's funeral expenses.

As of Wednesday, Feb. 9, the fundraiser has reached $4,956.

"She was 21 years old & without life insurance," Howard wrote. "Those who know me, know that I hate to ask but I want my daughter to rest easy. Sadly it costs more to die than to be born. I humbly ask that any & all that are able, please assist me with being able to give my Ally a going home service. No amount is too big or too small. Thank you in advance & I pray you all stay safe."
