Randy Park, 23, created a crowd-sourced funding account to pay for basic needs like food, bills and other expenses for him and his brother after his mother Hyun Jung Grant, 53, was killed Tuesday, WSB-TV reported.

“She was one of my best friends and the strongest influence on who we are today,” Park wrote on the account page. “As much as I want to grieve and process the reality that she is gone, I have a younger brother to take care of and matters to resolve as a result of this tragedy.”
