Update 2:

Hun had a rough start this morning. Tube was removed but was followed by extreme pain. He was scheduled for a surgery later on in the afternoon to remove the bullet that was still inside of him (most likely the culprit of his pain). After about 4 hours, he was finally back with us. Soon after the anesthesia wore off, he was talking to us normally for the first time. He is talking, eating and drinking now and really wants a burger! We will get him a burger tomorrow. I belive the worst has past and hoping for a speedy recovery.

We also had an overwhelming number of support at the store. Every customer asked about Hun and asked if he was okay and many extended their help. Our whole family is very grateful and cannot express how thankful and lucky we are. Thank you all very much. ❤️

Hun Chin is a dedicated small business owner and the face behind Park Ave Grocery in Tacoma. For years, he has worked hard every day to serve his community and support those around him.

On April 23rd, 2026, Hun’s life changed in an instant. While working at his store, he was the victim of a shooting that left him with serious injuries. He is currently in the ICU receiving critical care.

Hun is not only a business owner — he is also a husband and a father to three boys and a young daughter. His family depends on him, and this tragic event has placed an overwhelming emotional and financial burden on them.

This incident has not only impacted his health but also his ability to work and provide for his family. As a small business owner, time away from work means no income, while medical expenses continue to grow.

Hun is known by many in the community as a kind, hardworking, and reliable person. He has built strong relationships with his customers over the years, and now he needs our support more than ever.

We are raising funds to help cover:

• ICU and hospital medical expenses

• Surgeries and ongoing treatment

• Recovery and rehabilitation

• Lost income during his healing process

• Support for his family and daily living expenses

This incident has also been reported by local news, highlighting the seriousness of what happened and the impact on our Tacoma community.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping Hun recover and support his family during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help reach others.

Thank you for standing with Hun Chin and his family.

Update 1: He is awake! Still heavily medicated, but alert and stable. He cannot speak yet due to having a tube down his throat but he is constantly writing to communicate with us. His hand writing went from scribbles to full paragraphs. Hun just loves to talk and he cannot wait to get his tubes removed. Before we left for the day, he was still in alot of pain but he got some meds to ease the pain to rest for the night. I would like to thank everyone that donated and reaching out to to see how he is doing and offering support. We are all so lucky and blessed to have such great people supporting us through this hard time. It just show what kind of person Hun is to be so loved by everyone. Thank you again and will keep everyone posted with hopefully more positive updates. ❤️
