Urgent Support Request
We are joining effort with Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii and ask for your urgent support regarding the chemical attack victim’s situation and the urgent need to help her during this challenging time.
We would like to share that several of our UCS members have met, hosted and know the victim personally assisting her during her work and study here in Hawaii.
We are reaching out to you again to join hands in supporting her. The medical expenses, ongoing treatments, and the long road to recovery are daunting, and she cannot face them alone. Your generous contribution to this GoFundMe campaign will provide crucial financial support for her medical bills, rehabilitation, and counseling. Every dollar counts, and your kindness will make a significant impact on her journey towards healing. Please click the link below to make a GoFundMe donation.
