"In a blink of an eye tragedy hit my family so hard it's still so surreal to the entire family," wrote MaiLao Lee, a cousin who set up the GoFundMe page. "Last year around this time we were gathering and eating so much celebrating the holidays. Christmas and NY's will never be the same again that's for sure. How could any human being ever forget anyone who once existed in their life and then taken away so tragically? No parent should or deserves to bury their child this way. I still can't believe this time it's us."
