We are reaching out to family and friends to share our parents’ story. On May 29th, after months of being shut down due to COVID-19, Englewood Beauty Supply was getting ready to finally reopen and serve its community in the South Side of Chicago. Our father had spent hours with his employees preparing the store in order to ensure the safety of his employees and customers, and despite his own health issues which put him at high risk, he decided that it was important to open up his store to support not only his livelihood but his employees’ livelihoods as well.  On May 30th, all of that effort, and the efforts of a lifetime were destroyed by looting, while our dad helplessly watched for hours from the security footage on his phone.  Our father opened his small business in Chicago’s South Side 30 years ago after immigrating from Korea to America with absolutely nothing. Englewood Beauty Supply was more than a business, and over the decades it became a fixture in the neighborhood, with relationships built with community members. Our father had worked tirelessly and relentlessly without taking days off, working almost 365 days of the year so that he could support our family without complaint and serve as the best example to his children of positivity and the value of hard work.  This is not the first setback that our parents have faced. In 2007, when our home was destroyed by lightning, the store was a source of hope, a way to rebuild, and start again. Our father’s same positivity, strength, and heart that he put into his store helped us rebuild our home over the years.  It breaks our hearts to see how defeated they are this time, and we would like to give them hope as they rebuild again.  The world is hurting and we understand that this was a result of the hurt and the need for change.  We empathize with the outrage that has come from the lack of change and unjust treatment of the black community, and we stand by our community and those who are suffering. We also know that our parents are hurting, and it will be a long road of recovery and healing. Unlike large businesses, our small business insurance does not cover the entire cost of damages and stolen goods. We are humbly asking for support in rebuilding our parents’ business and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Sincerely, Bradford and Grace Chong If you wish to donate directly please email [email redacted].  You'll receive an auto-reply with more information on how you can make a direct donation. Edit/Update** This morning at 6:30am (Wednesday, June 3rd), we received a call from a neighboring business that our building was on fire.  Our father headed over to see the damage, and it was devastating. We are at a loss of words and unsure how to move forward. We are asking for support during this time as the costs for repair are unimaginable and devastating. Our father's livelihood and everything that he has worked for as an immigrant for the past 30 years has been stripped away from him. We ask for any support possible and prayers as we try to recover.

We are this small business owner's (Sung Min Chong and Kyung Sook Chong) children, Bradford and Grace Chong.  How will the funds be used for this campaign? The funds will be used to lessen the impact and recover from the lost merchandise (stolen and damaged by fire), cash, and computers(3) and the damage to windows, glass cases/displays, shelves, walls, printers, cash registers, and security system. Because our business was not only looted, but set on fire, we are unable to fathom how much the cost will be to undo the fire and water damage or whether the entire building will have to be rebuilt. We will provide updates as we learn more and speak to the building owners and insurance company.  What is your withdrawal plan to get the funds to the beneficiary? All funds will go directly to the business owner, Sung Min Chong. 저희 부모님의 소식을 친구들과 가족들에게 전합니다. 5월 29일, 코로나19로 인해 몇달동안 문을 닫았던 Englewood Beauty Supply가 마침내 다시 시카고 사우스 고객들을 맞이하기 위해 준비가 한창이였습니다. 아버지는 몸이 편찮으셔서 건강 악화로 이어질 수 있음에도 불구하고 본인뿐만 아니라 직원들의 생계를 위해서도 가게를 다시 열기로 결심하고 찾아올 손님들과 직원들의 안전을 위해 만반의 준비를 갖추고 있었습니다.  5월 30일, 그간의 노력이 무색하게 평생을 가꿔온 가게는 약탈당했고 아버지는 그 모습을 핸드폰으로 몇시간동안 무력하게 바라볼 수 밖에 없었습니다.  아버지는 홀로 한국에서 미국으로 건너와 30년전에 이 작은 가게를 여셨습니아.  Englewood Beauty Supply는 비즈니스의 개념을 넘어 수십년동안 이웃들과의 관계를 형성하며 함께 성장하며 자리를 지켰습니다. 아버지는 가족을 위해 불평없이 매년 하루도 쉬지 않고 일하셨고 그 모습은 자녀들에게 긍정성과 일의 가치를 누구보다 깨닫게 해주는 존재였습니다. 부모님이 겪은 시련은 이전에도 있었습니다. 2007년, 번개로 인해 집이 불타 쓰러졌을때에도 이 가게는 저희의 희망이였고, 다시 시작할 수 있는 힘의 원천이였습니다. 또한 변함없는 아버지의 긍정적인 힘과 가족을 위하는 마음이 가게를 통해 더해져 우리의 보금자리를 몇년만에 다시 회복케 했습니다.하지만 이전과 다르게 이번 사건으로 인하여 부모님은 슬픔과 좌절감에 잠기셨고 그 모습을 바라볼때마다 너무나도 애통합니다. 저희는 이전에 두 분이 그러셨듯, 다시 일어설 수 있다는 희망을 드리고 싶습니다. 현재 많은 이들이 고통 가운데 신음하고 있으며 이번 일 또한 그 상처와 개선되어야 할  문제점들의 대한 결과임을 이해합니다. 우리는 부당한 처사에 따른 흑인사회의 분노에 동감하며 고통 받고 있는 이웃들의 마음과 함께 합니다. 부모님 또한 아픔 가운데 함께 하고 있음을 기억하여 주시고 조속히 모든 상황들이 회복되기를 바랍니다. 작은 사업체라 대부분의 피해와 도난당한 물품을 보험이 아닌 개인이 보상해야 하는 상황이기에 더욱더 어려움에 처해있습니다. 부디 저희의 마음을 헤아려 주시고 저희의 가정을 재건하는데 도와주시기를 간절히 부탁드립니다. Sincerely, Bradford and Grace Chong [email redacted] 으로 문의주시면 기타 단체를 통하지 않고 직접 기부하실 수 있습니다. 자세한 사항은 이메일 발송시 자동 전달됩니다. Update** 6월 3일 오전 6:30경, 옆 사업체로부터 우리 가게에 화재(방화)가 났다는 전화를 받았습니다. 아버지는 확인을 위해 바로 가게로 향하셨고 상황은 참담했습니다. 이민생활 30년동안 이루어 오신 아버지의 삶이 하루만에 모두 사라져버렸고 상상을 초월하는 피해액은 더욱더 부모님을 좌절케 했습니다. 저희 가족을 위해 도움의 손길과 기도를 절실히 부탁드립니다. How is the GoFundMe organizers related to the recipient of the funds? 기부 수신자는 해당 업체와 어떤 연관이 있나요? 저희는 Englewood Beauty Supply 사장 (정승민, 정경숙) 의 자녀 Bradford Chong, Grace Chong입니다. How will the funds be used for this campaign? 기부액은 어디에 사용되나요? 기부액은 도난/화재로 인한 재산 피해 (물건, 진열대, 컴퓨터, 계산대, 가구등...)와 건물 피해 (창문, 벽, 수도관, 경보 시스템)  복구에 사용됩니다. 약탈뿐만 아니라 화재가 났기에 수리가 아닌 건물 전체를 다시 지어야 할 경우 피해액은 더욱더 증가할수있습니다. 건물 주인과 보험회사와 계속해서 논의 후 추가로 업데이트 하겠습니다. What is your withdrawal plan to get the funds to the beneficiary? 수신자에게 기부액을 어떻게 전달하나요? 모든 기부액은 사업체 주인 정승민이 직접 수령합니다. 기부를 원하시면 Donation Now를 눌러주세요. 다른분들에게 이소식을 전해주고싶으시면 Share를 눌러주세요.
