The description for Cho's GoFundMe reads:
"On Saturday, May 6th, Cindy, Kyu, William and James Cho visited the Allen outlet mall together in North Texas. William just celebrated his 6th birthday 4 days prior and James is 3.
"An afternoon that should have been filled with light, love and celebration unfortunately was cut short by another mass shooting massacre that left 8 victims dead. Cindy, Kyu and three year old James were among those victims that tragically lost their lives and the family is in deep mourning.
"After being released from the ICU, their six year old son William is the only surviving member of this horrific event."
The incident led to great sorrow for families, including sisters Daniela, 11, and Sofia, 8, Mendoza. The girls were fatally shot at the mall during a seemingly normal trip with their mother. Their GoFundMe page has accrued over $250,000 in donations.
