One of the five students who were critically wounded during the deadly mass shooting at Michigan State University is a 20-year-old from China who has been left paralyzed from the chest down.
The bullet severed Hao’s spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down.Qian said Hao’s “mentally crushed” parents have traveled to Michigan to be at his side.
“John is a beloved member of our Spartan community, a leader in a student organization, and a passionate sports enthusiast,” he wrote. “He is never able to drive to state parks to look at the stars anymore like he used to. He dreams of travelling the globe and having a career in sports management,” Qian continued.“We might not be able to help him get back on his feet, but we can let him know that the love in this world is beyond physical,” he added in his call for financial assistance.
In an update, Qian wrote that Hao is no longer intubated and appears to be calmer after being told about the overwhelming public support. “He is aware of what his family is going through right now, and you guys just ease away his stress a lot!” he said.
