On Sunday, March 14th, 2021, my father went to exercise on his bike. Just a couple of minutes after he left home, around 12:30 pm, he was hit by an unlicensed driver in a 2019 Chevy Express who failed to stop at a 4 way stop. My dad got hit, ran over, dragged and he was still under the car until the help arrived. He was rushed to the operation room and had 3 major surgeries. My dad sustained critical injuries including his 11 right ribs completely shattered, 8 of them were replaced. Multiple fractures, multiple punctured organs, trauma to both his lungs, major bleeding in his abdomen and both lungs, part of his right lung, spleen, and tail of pancreas removed. He was in ICU unconscious, unstable, and depending on the ventilator to breathe for 20 days. Since then, he moved to the surgical unit making great progress. He’s stable and is able to breathe on his own but still very weak. He is provided with the nutrients needed through tube feeding. Due to his injuries and traumas, it’ll take a long time for him to recover. Currently, I’m residing in my college town and I am far away from my family. I cannot go visit him due to COVID restrictions, but my family needs your guy’s help. My dad provided most of our family’s income and with him hospitalized and family members needing to stay with him 24/7, our family is facing a financial burden for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and paying for bills. We are in need of every help possible in this tragic time. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.
My father is the most hard-working person I know. He has never failed to be the best father figure to us, endlessly working to provide for the family. He rarely took breaks and never once complained about how hard it was for him. He was running martial arts school until he injured his back and neck. He worked out and stretched in hopes of getting back into his best shape, dreaming every single day to reopen up martial arts school once again. However, his body did not follow with his hopes of fully recovering to return in his taekwondo uniform. He has never visited the hospital because then he wouldn't have been able to pay for rent. He started to take on any jobs to fulfill our needs. From being a construction worker to organizing alcohol bottles in liquor stores to doing Uber from 4 am every day… I was able to see how exhausted he was behind the smile he put upfront. This is the kind of father he is to my brother and me.


Ever since we arrived in America, it has never been easy for my father. People always did him wrong and stole money from him, the money he saved up through sweat and tears. He doesn’t have his family members here in America except for his older brother. He always has so much to worry about and I can see it in his eyes that he is scared and stressed out about how he can keep this family together. My father is no longer in contact with any of his friends because he never had the time to meet them. Despite how tired and busy he is, he never failed to check up on us and be there for us. Even with the financial issues we've been dealing with, he always made sure my brother and I grew up with childhood and everything we needed and wanted. He would take our friends on trips and always sacrificed so much just so we could be happy. He is a very disciplined person and despite having to wake up at 4 am every day, he exercised before heading out to work daily. As soon as he comes home at night he would start stretching. He would take time out of his work and take my brother and I on hikes at 5 in the morning. He was always taking care of his body and making sure we were too.
