NEW YORK — Relatives of Christina Yuna Lee have broken their silence by starting an online fundraising campaign in memory of the slain Chinatown resident.
“Christina’s death has shaken us to our core,” the GoFundMe page created by her family reads. “Nothing will give her back to us. But with your help, we can make the 35 years she spent on Earth mean something for generations to come.”
Organized by sister Angela Yujin Lee, the campaign has already raised more than $100,000 in 24 hours for five organizations that were close to 35-year-old Lee’s heart: the Prospect Park Alliance, Womankind, Planned Parenthood, the Elizabeth Street Garden and SafeWalks.
