Asian Community Development CouncilFundraising for Chengyan Wang & his family
$19,734
raised by 138 people
$12,000 goal
On December 20th, 2021 at around 3:00 AM, Chengyan Wang, a lead waiter at Shanghai Taste, was cleaning the restaurant in Las Vegas' Shanghai Plaza. A man entered through the back door and attempted to burglarize the business. Wang, defending himself and the restaurant, intervened and was shot multiple times. He was taken in critical condition to the UMC Trauma Center. He is currently recovering and is in stable condition.
This attack on a member of our community was senseless and vicious. We are heartbroken and angry that this attack happened in the heart of our home at Shanghai Plaza.
Our team alongside the Asian Chamber of Commerce, Bamboo Bridges and other community partners offered assistance with translation for the restaurant owner and staff as well as Las Vegas Metro Police Department during this time of need.
The Asian Community Development Council will match up to $5,000 to reach the goal of $12,000 to help out with Chengyan Wang's recovery fund and to support his family during this time. This is a separate campaign from the GoFundMe and 100% of proceeds will be given to Chengyan Wang and his family. As ACDC is a 501(c)3, your donation to his recovery fund is tax-deductible. This fundraiser will end on December 31st, 2021.
這次上海弄堂發生槍擊案，ACDC亞太社區發展協會(Asian Community Development Council) 也感到非常痛心與氣憤。上海弄堂與本協會為上海廣場的好鄰居，也是不少社區服務活動與疫苗防疫與推廣的夥伴。這次事件發生引起公憤，我們協會強力譴責暴力犯罪，也呼籲警局加強巡邏與聯繫相關執法單位優先處理，早日將歹徒繩之以法。並在新的一年將把華人與亞裔社區公共安全，包括治安與交通列為協會與地方政府爭取的重要目標。我們也了解上海弄堂管理團隊昨日發出的正式聲明，將負責全部醫療費用與復原費用，以及爭取保險賠償部分。這次的募款因為我們協會作為非營利公益組織，已有收到善款希望能作為受害的王先生日後復原費用 - 並將與上海弄堂管理團隊協調，全權交由王先生處理。我們募款包括協會本身捐贈最高五千美金，總共募款目標為一萬兩千美金。本協會為國稅局認可的501c3公益組織，慈善捐贈抵免税。若有任何疑問或建議，請聯繫協會華人同事（微信acdcnv)
