On Wednesday, March 17, a 75-year-old Asian woman was attacked while shopping in San Francisco, but was able to fight off the attacker, according to CNN.

The woman, who has been identified as Xiao Zhen Xie, received "two serious black eyes" and a swollen wrist from the incident, and is no longer comfortable leaving her home, according to a GoFundMe page set up by her grandson, John Chen.

Chen organized the GoFundMe to help raise $50,000 to cover his grandmother's medical expenses, therapy treatment, and other bills.

But the donations they have received so far have already greatly exceeded the goal, with more than $650,000 raised from over 22,000 people.

On Thursday, Chen released a statement saying his grandmother's condition is slightly improving, but she is still struggling mentally and emotionally, and they are "extremely touched by how supportive the community has been."
