Senator Iwen Chu Invites Community to Help Victims of Sunset Park Hammer Attack
August 27, 2023
A GoFundMe has been set up for the grieving father and the two critically injured children in the brutal Sunset Park hammer attack, announced New York State Senator Iwen Chu. Working with the Senator’s office and the non-profit organization, Parent-Child Relationship Association (PCR), the account was created to assist the family.
Senator Chu and PCR’s President, Nicole Huang, visited Mr. Liu Friday evening at Bellevue Hospital, where the two children remain in the intensive care unit. The five-year-old boy, David, woke up to give the father much-needed relief. However, the three-year-old girl, Sophie, is still in critical condition and fighting a lung infection. Speaking with Ms. Huang and Senator Chu, Mr. Liu said he cannot focus on the future and his thoughts are of hope that both kids pull through. “Whatever happens next, we will face it together and provide the best care I can offer to my children”, said Mr. Liu.
Senator Chu was able to secure a pro bono attorney for the family through Anderson & Associates Law, P.C. The law firm will help the family set up a trust fund to make sure the donation goes to funding the children’s medical, housing and educational needs.
I am heartbroken. As a mother myself, I cannot begin to imagine what Mr. Liu is going through”, said Senator Iwen Chu. “Seeing them in such pain breaks my heart into pieces. I thank PCR for taking care of the family. I am grateful to partner with them to help Mr. Liu and his children through this unimaginably challenging time. I am humbled by Mr. Liu’s trust."
“Please consider donating to Mr. Liu, David and Sophie,” added Senator Chu.
