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. This assault caused irreversible, permanent brain damage. He was in the hopsital from November 1, 2025 to December 28, 2025. On December 28, 2025; my dad passed away. I was just minutes late to getting to his hopsital room before he passed away. I walked in and was met with two heartbroken nurses. I immediately started to cry and dropped to the floor, then fell to my knees. I thought I had a little more time. I just wanted to say 'I love you' one more time before he passed. I hold a lot of regret for not getting there in time. I spent the first hour of him being gone alone with him in the hopsital room. It was just me with his body, a very intense and traumatic moment. I miss dad and love my dad dearly! Living in his house and knowing I'll never see him step foot in it breaks me completely. But I will continue to take care of this house because it's not just a house, but a home. I have so many memories attached to this house. I don't want to lose those memories, so I will continue to pay monthly until I can't. Thankfully with Victims Compensation reimbursement for the funeral is possible. So this GoFundMe is ongoing bills to keep the mories in my dad's home alive and any add ons to my dad's funeral service (ex. Flower arrangements). I have moments of sobbing and then moments of just staring at a wall. Sometimes I'm able to smile and laugh but most of the time it's because of my dog managing to be cute in such a dark time. With all that I've said, any help is greatly appreciated #justiceforalvinprasad
