Jasmine would go on to clarify that "Hua underwent a 7-hour surgery and is now on life support in ICU fighting for his life." Run lives with his wife of seven years, their 7-month-old and 3-year-old daughters, and his parents. Nobody else in the house was injured. Per PEOPLE, the Oakland Housing Authority Police Department confirmed the case is under ongoing investigation. The department is also providing services and support to Kuang's family.
As of this writing, the GoFundMe campaign itself is shooting for a $300,000 goal. It has over 3,800 donations; $242,810 has been raised so far.
"This tragedy has created a severe financial burden for our family. Furthermore, Hua's absence is even more of a hardship and struggle since he is the only one who can speak limited English and take care of the responsibilities and communications for the household," the GFM page clarifies.
