A young Indian girl named Arti Singh is in a coma after being hit by a car while crossing the road in San Jose, California.
She has been in the hospital since November 9 and has had surgeries to help her breathe and eat.
Her father, Sumiran Singh, is very worried and is taking care of her all by himself.
He doesn't know much about what happened or who the driver was.
A group called O2B2 is helping him with money and support.
Many people are praying for Arti to wake up and for her father to get the help he needs.
Arti Singh remains in a coma after being struck by a vehicle on November 9 in San Jose, California.
She is undergoing intensive treatment at Santa Clara Valley Medical Centre, including surgeries to her neck and stomach.

Sumiran Singh
Father of Arti Singh
“My daughter is still not opening her eyes. I talk to her every day, hoping she can hear me. I have no one here - just her, and the hope that she will wake up.”

“This situation is heartbreaking. Singh has no one here. No relatives. No support. When we met him, he didn't even know where he would sleep. We cannot let a father struggle alone in a foreign land while his daughter fights for her life. We are calling upon the Indian community in the Bay Area to step up to help Arti Singh and her father in whatever way possible.”
NDTV
“This is every parent's nightmare. Singh is alone here with no family support. Our community is doing everything possible to make sure he is not left to struggle in silence.”
