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 two weeks 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 finances so that my father doesn’t lose his house that he earned on his own and to help with medical bills. 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. I didn’t know what amount to choose for the goal. Any amount is appreciated.
