Generous strangers struck by her bravery have raised more than $295,000 for the heroic Texas teen who watched in horror as her ex-uncle allegedly executed her parents and four siblings at her family home last week.

Cassidy Stay, 15, survived the July 9 massacre by playing dead when a bullet grazed her head, before calling police - an action which saved the lives of her grandparents, who Ron Haskell was intent on killing next.

Inspired by the teenager's smiling stoicism, despite losing her entire family, thousands of supporters around the world have donated nearly $300,000 to an online GoFundMe campaign called 'Stay Strong' to assist her.

The 'Stay Family Tragedy - Cassidy Stay Fund' went live on Thursday, the day after the massacre, and within 24 hours approached $150,000.

'We had no idea that it would be the official site for that the family,' Jody Dellinger, one of the founders of the site, told Community Impact News. 'The outpouring just dumbfounds me when you have a tragedy like this.'

On Saturday, Cassidy and her grandfather Robert Lyon attended a celebration of life organized in Spring to remember their slain loved ones.

After taking a deep breath, a smiling Cassidy mounted the stage to address more than 400 people who came out to pay tribute to her parents and siblings, as seen in a video of the event recorded by Click2Houston.


She began by thanking those people who have been praying for her and the entire Stay family, and the first responders and medical personnel who took care of her.

With her voice slightly cracking, Cassidy said: 'I'm feeling a lot better and I'm on a very straightforward path to a full recovery.'

Before continuing her prepared remarks, the brave young woman drew another deep breath and then proceeded to quote from one of her favorite books in the Harry Potter series.

'In the Prisoner of Azkaban, Dumbledore says, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest times if one only remembers to turn on the light,”’ she told the audience, wiping away tears.
