The family of a father of two is speaking out after they say their loved one was shot in the head while he was napping.

According to the fundraiser, Kuang had just finished his job as a delivery truck driver and went home to take a nap. He lives with his wife of seven years, their 7-month-old and 3-year-old daughters, and his parents. No one else in the home was injured, perThe Mercury News.

After the shooting, Kuang had a seven-hour surgery and is said to be in the ICU on life support, “fighting for his life,” according to the fundraising page.

The GoFundMe campaign, which has garnered over 1,900 donations and raised over $141,000 of its $200,000 goal, states that the shooting has left Kuang’s “entire family traumatized and in deep distress.”

“This tragedy has created a severe financial burden for our family. Furthermore, Hua’s absence is even more of a hardship and struggle since he is the only one who can speak limited English and take care of the responsibilities and communications for the household,” the campaign adds.

The campaign states that Kuang, who immigrated to the U.S. from Taishan, China, in 2005, was the sole provider of his family.

He is described as someone whose “life was built upon being disciplined and devoted as a husband, father, and son.”

“We are keeping Hua in our prayers for a miracle,” the campaign adds.
