A GoFundMe campaign initiated by Jason Dao to support his father, the owner of Kim Tin Jewelry in Oakland, has raised over $27,000 following a violent smash-and-grab robbery that left the store severely damaged. The fundraising effort was launched after dramatic videos showed a group of armed burglars crashing a stolen Ford truck into the store, trapping the owner inside and subjecting him to a terrifying ordeal.
Jason Dao stated that his father, a Vietnamese immigrant and dedicated jeweler, is now facing significant challenges after being left injured, traumatized, and without a safety net just months after taking sole ownership of the business.
