These are my grandparents and my aunt. They are kind, welcoming souls. My grandmother, 85, without fail, made sure I grabbed a plate whenever I came by. My grandfather, 86, never missed an opportunity to share and spread his long-lived wisdom. My aunt and I could talk and laugh for hours with no end in sight.
On April 29th, in the early hours of the morning, they were attacked by a family member they had cared for and lived with for several years. The assailant used a Japanese samurai sword to cut my grandfather and grandmother resulting in severe lacerations to their face and bodies.
My aunt, who was not originally targeted, got between the assailant and my grandmother to protect her, resulting in wounds to her arms and hands to the point where she needed extensive surgery to have them reattached. It is truly a horrific and traumatic experience for our family.
While the assailant has been arrested, my grandparents are currently being cared for in the ICU and my aunt is slowly recovering from multiple surgeries. Despite all of this, we know that love will always shines through, although we still have so many uniquely unprecedented challenges ahead.
This GoFundMe was set up with the intent that any interested parties who want to help us mitigate these financial challenges can donate to it. We're hoping to raise just enough money to cover the hospital fees, out-patient recovery, and any subsequent legal fees. All donations are appreciated. Thank you for your time, energy, thoughts & prayers.
