After the funeral for fallen police officer Wenjian Liu, the New York City community is still putting together efforts to help his family.
Several organizations across the city Nike Air Max Sale , in and outside of the Chinese community, have been gathering funds from those wishing to assist the Liu family in any way they can.
The Lung Kong Tien Yee Association of New York raised $4,100 to date for the Liu family, having begun accepting donations from the general public on Jan 3. The association will take public donations until Jan 18, after which the money will be given directly to the family during this time of hardship, according to Zhao Baizhao Air MAx 1 Sale , secretary of the association.
The association gathered $3,415 for the family in the immediate aftermath of Liu's death, gathered from the association's members, and has since gotten about $700 more from the general public.
"We're going to keep raising for the family, and as much or as little we are able to gather, we'll be giving to the family for any financial needs they might be coming across Air Max 90 Sale ," Zhao said.
Liu's father was a member of two years of the Lung Kong association, a 126-year-old organization with 600 members from the New York Chinese community, all of whom are descendants of the Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao families.
"Right after we heard about the death Air Max 95 Sale , we set out to visit the family just so they know that they have our support," Zhao said.
He said that the association decided against giving the money to a foundation in Liu's name and to present the money directly to the family because they wanted the family to be able to use it immediately.
"Whether or not the sum we raise is big is less important than our desire to present the family with a token of our condolences," he said.
"It's so unfortunate that the family had to suffer through this. They only had one son. We can't even express how terrible this was, and we know that only time can heal something like this," Zhao said. "The Chinese community has to show unity during these difficult times, and we have to express care through our options Air Max Sale , and to show that the family is not alone in this city."
