Wong Family Fund

My mom and dad immigrated to America from China, many years ago. They came to America in 1973 during the Mao era to escape poverty and seek work, housing, and a better future. My dad has worked as a chef, construction worker, taking various jobs to support the family. My mom has worked continuously as a seamstress. Both of them worked extremely long hours in hopes of achieving the American dream. They are not in the best of health, living with their work related aches and pains.

They pushed me to be the best in school and I was able to achieve an education. But because of the economy, we are just barely scraping by.

Our apartment currently has cracks and leaks everywhere. It is a danger to us and it looks like it might collapse at any point. We do not have the money to make repairs. What I'm asking is for you kind folks out there to donate a dollar or more to help us pay for the repairs.

Also, if it is not too much to ask for, your contributions would also go towards helping my mom and dad take a vacation, something that they have not done in many years to see their friends & family back in China. Just for about two weeks so they can step away from the madness and stress that comes with living in this stressful city.
