BUTLER, Mo. - A 12-year-old Missouri girl's death in a freak rodeo
accident has many in her community struggling to find words to express
their grief for a family who has lived there for generations.
Kalee Chandler had just finished her barrel-racing run last Saturday night
at an event in Adrian for a veterans' charity when her horse, Sarrley,
appeared to have a heart attack. The horse slammed into the fence and
rolled onto Kalee, pinning her beneath him.
The girl died Monday at a Kansas City hospital and was buried Friday.
"She was given that gift from God to ride," said Tracy Murray, who began
coaching Kalee in barrel racing when the girl was 7. "And she'd go so fast
and furious. She wasn't there to take second."
Neighbors in her Bates County town, where her parents and grandparents
grew up, donated items to be auctioned and signed up to take donations
throughout the county. They stuffed cash into buckets, boots and hats,
with the money to go toward whatever the girl's family wants to spend it
on, The Kansas City Star reported.
"Raising money, there's nothing else they can do," said Sandy Johnston,
her eyes filling with tears as she worked at the Mo-Kan Livestock Market
before and during a fundraiser auction Thursday morning.
CBS affiliate KCTV reports the market auction normally draws a few dozen,
but Thursday, several hundred turned out to place their bids on gear, art
and livestock.
Before the bidding began, auctioneer Jim Hertzog took a few moments to
describe Kalee, calling her a true cowgirl who wasn't the kind to sit
around the house playing video games.
The first item up for bid was a bridle, which after steady bidding was
sold for $75. "Sell it again," the winning bidder hollered.
That happened several times during the hour-long fundraiser, with farmers
and ranchers buying an item and then throwing it back to raise another
chunk of money for the family.
Bidders didn't see Kalee's father, Wade Chandler, or his son Jake and
daughter Allie, quietly come in and stand in the back, watching their
neighbors offering bids.
One bidder, Brandy Vanvoorst, not only came to donate money, but she also
donated livestock for the cause.
"It's something you can't replace," Vanvoorst said on the loss of the
young girl.
No one knows that more than Kalee's dad, Wade, who stopped by to say the
family is living minute-by-minute since the death of their daughter. He
says, though, that the support sure helps.
"We appreciate every bit of it," he said. "So thank you."
The auction raised $25,319, with donations coming in from as far away as
Garden City, Kansas.
"That's about all we can do, other than our prayers," Hertzog said.
