Hyun Jung Grant was one of\u00a0eight people killed<\/span>\u00a0by a man who attacked a series of spas in the Atlanta area on Tuesday. She was also a single mother of two boys, who are now picking up the pieces.<\/p>\n

Randy Park, her eldest son, says he is now left with the responsibility of planning for his mom’s funeral and taking care of his younger brother. The 22-year-old started a GoFundMe page with a goal of $20,000 for rent, food, bills and other expenses, and in the two days since the fundraiser was posted, it has amassed more than $2.4 million.<\/p>\n

“Frankly, I have no time to grieve,” he wrote on the fundraiser website. “It is only my brother and I in the United States. The rest of my family is in South Korea and are unable to come.”<\/p>\n

Grant was among six Asian women who were shot and killed in Tuesday’s attack. Officials said the suspect claimed the shootings were not racially motivated and saw the spas as a temptation that he wanted to eliminate.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Robert Aaron Long, has been charged with eight counts of murder. The\u00a0shootings\u00a0have not been ruled out as a hate crime.<\/p>\n

The other victims are Delaina Ashley Yaun, Yong Ae Yue, Suncha Kim, Xiaojie Tan, Daoyou Feng, Soon Chung Park and Paul Andre Michels.<\/p>\n
