(CNA Reporter Liu Chien-pang, Taipei, 23rd) A female police officer surnamed Chen, who served at the Zhongzheng First Precinct of the Taipei City Police Department, tragically passed away following severe postpartum hemorrhage. Her newborn daughter suffered from cerebral hypoxia and is undergoing treatment. Worried about the long and arduous road ahead for the baby girl, the precinct initiated a fundraising campaign. The police announced today that the donations have far exceeded expectations and asked the public to stop sending money.
Officer Chen gave birth to her first child on the 18th but died from severe blood loss despite emergency rescue efforts. The baby girl, whose brain was damaged by hypoxia, requires long-term medical and rehabilitation care, prompting her colleagues to start the fundraiser.
It was reported that Officer Chen was responsible for the security of key government figures. Giving birth to her daughter "An-an" just before Mother's Day was the most precious gift of her life. Tragically, she passed away early on the 20th after a day of emergency treatment, before she could even see her newborn, leaving everyone heartbroken.
Because baby An-an's condition is unstable and she remains under observation in the neonatal intensive care unit for her hypoxic brain injury, the deeply saddened Zhongzheng First Precinct launched the external fundraising campaign.
The precinct issued a press release today explaining that the initiative originally stemmed from camaraderie. With the family's consent, it was planned as a targeted caring effort coordinated by close friends of the police, rather than a public charity drive aimed at the general masses.
Police said that after the story was shared on social media and covered by the press, compassionate people from all walks of life responded, and the source of funds expanded to the general public. They expressed deep gratitude for the selfless care and generosity. As numerous anonymous donations continued to pour in, the total amount far exceeded expectations.
To avoid any public doubts regarding the nature and flow of the funds and to ensure strict transparency, the Zhongzheng First Precinct announced the immediate closure of the collection account. They have actively contacted competent authorities to explain the situation and request assistance, adhering to a prudent and responsible attitude to handle subsequent procedures.
The police stated that to ensure the funds are used for their original purpose of care and support, they are actively helping the family set up a dedicated trust account for "An-an." All collected funds will be transferred to this trust for centralized management, exclusively designated for her medical care, rehabilitation, living expenses, and future education to guarantee transparent and appropriate use of the money.
The Zhongzheng First Precinct once again sincerely thanked all sectors of society for their care and support. This kindness not only gives the family immense strength during this difficult time but will also serve as the warmest and most solid backing for An-an as she grows up. Donors with any concerns can contact the Administrative Division of the Zhongzheng First Precinct. (Editor: Li Hsi-chang)
