As a MontereyPark senior center transforms into a crisis response hub after a mass shooting left 10 people dead, GoFundMe has launched a website of verified fundraisers for the victims' families. Here's how you can help.
The community of Monterey Park is feeling heartache, grief and anger after a mass shooting at a ballroom dance hall left 10 people dead and 10 others injured, but they're coming together to help the families of the victims.
"It was comforting and just cathartic just to talk about it because, in between my husband and I, we didn't really process it too much, so it was good for us," said Monterey Park resident Lenora Hall. Monterey Park is a small community of approximately 61,000 people, and it's a predominantly Asian community. The city was hosting the Monterey Park Lunar New Year Festival this weekend, marking the beginning of the Chinese lunar calendar. The annual two-day street festival is widely attended, with previous celebrations drawing as many as 100,000 daily visitors, according to the city. Saturday's events were scheduled to finish at 9 p.m.
