Trust fund set up to aid family of injured man

Local busi­ness­man Peter Cheng was trans­fer­red from Hamilton to Groves Hospital here on Nov. 14, but he remains in serious condition.

Cheng suffered major in­juries when he fell at his busi­ness, The Golden Dragon Res­taurant, on Oct. 14.

His family owns and oper­ates the restaurant on St. Andrews Street West.

A very close-knit family, the Chengs live above the restaurant with three daughters, Sierra, Cyn­thia, and Sonia, while another daughter, Cecillia, lives just down the street.

All the girls attended local elementary schools and the older girls at­tended Centre Wellington Dis­trict High School.

The restaurant was closed for two weeks following the ac­cident as the family struggled with the situation and needed to travel to Hamilton every day.

The Golden Dragon is open on weekends only for take out business to help provide some income for the family.

The daughters, with family mem­bers and friends, have pitched in to help run the kitchen, while Cheng’s wife, Ping, is dealing with the ongoing crisis.

A benefit concert is being planned to help the family, but by the request of the family, will be held at a later date.

A trust fund has been set up to assist the Cheng family at TD Canada Trust in Fergus. Donations can be made at any branch by asking to donate to the Cheng Family Trust.

Dona­tions can also be dropped off at Shaw Music, at 145 St. A­ndrew Street West, in Fergus.
