READ TILL THE END! This GoFundMe is for my father, Alvin. I am his younger daughter, Andrea. Late Halloween night, early morning leading into November 1st, my father was attacked. My father is a gay man. It was a hate crime. Me, my father, and our best friend were walking back to our car like any other night after dancing at Badlands, Sacramento. A man walked past my dad and insulted him. My father verbally confronted the man. My father didn’t physically do anything towards the man, only used words, a simple question. Within seconds, the man punched my father on the forehead. My father hit the sidewalk, his head hit the concrete, causing immediate damage and bleeding on the back of his head. My father has been in the hospital for over a month now, in a coma with permanent damage to both sides of his brain. He will never be himself again. My father had plans that he can no longer complete. He retired while still in the hospital. He can’t move to Palm Springs and have a fresh start like he wanted to. This GoFundMe is to help with stopping my family from trying to sell his house, help with medical bills and legal fees. My father has already lost the chance to continue living the vibrant life he wants to; I don’t want him to also lose his house. My dad wouldn't want his daughter, me to have to struggle to find a new place to live while already dealing with the severe trauma I have from seeing my dad almost die in front of me, dealing with the crimal case, and be fighting tooth and nail for him. My dad's house is my safe haven and it could be taken from my dad. His two best friends are at risk of being homeless as well if his house is sold. My dad wouldn't want this stress and fear on me or his friends or himself. He wouldn't be ok with his house being sold. Please help me keep what my dad wants continuing! Any amount is appreciated.
