A GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $119,000 for victims of the Monterey Park shooting and their families after a gunman opened fire inside Star Ballroom Dance Studio on Saturday night, killing at least 11 people and injuring several others.

“There’s been a lot of trauma and fear and anxiety in the community, and so we wanted the community to know that — if they need mental health services or they want to talk to somebody or they need other support, and they need to know how to navigate resources — these are the organizations, these are the services that are out there.

“These are Chinese immigrants who are seniors and who are limited English proficient, and so ... what happens with immigrant communities — and especially seniors who are limited English proficient — they [rely on] a system that’s a little bit separate from mainstream government and service organizations,” Chung Joe said.Eleven people are dead after a man opened fire in a dance studio in Monterey Park. Police believe the shooter also targeted an Alhambra studio. Here’s what we know.

Beyond donating to the fundraising campaigns and sharing the resource directory, Chung Joe said, allies can help the Monterey Park community and the larger Asian American Pacific Islander community at this time by showing “their support and solidarity.” “Even though this might not be an an incident of anti-Asian hate or a hate crime, it still feels veryafter everything that’s been happening during the pandemic,” Chung Joe said.
