My name is Angelica lee I’m starting this fundraiser for my Dad, Joseph lee
I never thought I would be doing this but I really need your help right now
My 55-year-old “father medically fragile” was falsely accused of theft at a Florida grocery store save a lot last week for a bananas that he paid for my dad was attack by 9 white police officers in lakeland, Florida and seriously injured in a violent encounter with The police. Now, he is hospitalized and has lost the ability to speak and is now fighting for his life basically because of the color of his skin

He told the woman that he had not stolen anything and that he had paid for four bananas, but she followed him outside and continued to falsely accuse him of stealing, one banana put her hands on him. my father told me. When i noticed the commotion, 
i confronted the woman.

At first, I was trying to ask her what happened, and she was like, ‘People like you and him shouldn’t come into the store if you don’t have money to pay for things,’” i said My mom is white, and my dad is Black. So I’m mixed. So I think she meant Black people. And it just escalated from that, and she went to cussing me out.” we got into argument about my dad she call the police

The police got out with their guns drawn, repeatedly saying, ‘Get out of the effin’ car,’” “My dad said to me: ‘Don’t get out of the car until they can fully see me, because they’re going to shoot.’ And after he said that, nine or 10 of them jumped on him, and then they slammed him on the car.”

I could hear my father screaming: “You’re hurting me. I can’t breathe.”

All I could see was my daddy lying in the middle of the road and several officers were on him. “as they drove me away, the last thing
I heard was my dad screaming: ‘Help, help. I can’t breathe. You’re hurting me,’”
all i could do was cry and pray they don’t hurt my dad. who already had a pacemaker, sustained an acute kidney injury in the encounter and he is undergoing dialysis. and now he can barely talk and is disoriented and confused. “He’ wakes up panicked,” “He doesn’t know where he’s at. He can no longer feed himself. We have to do that for him. Now They’re saying that some of the injuries could be long-term.” and the worst news ever in my
life my FATHER might don’t make it Please Pray for my FATHER & family Thank you so much we need help for hospital bills and to help take care of my lil brother who is 4 yrs and my lil sister who is 11 yrs please help with anything we are grateful and we highly appreciate you Thanks so much..
