On the evening of Sunday January 9th, 2016 I was walking back to my friends apartment in West Hollywood, CA when I was assaulted by an individual I could not identify. The individual(s) that assaulted me punched, kicked, and beat me while I was down - according to the trauma team at Ceadars-Sinai Hospital, my wounds are also consistent with being hit by or thrown out of a moving vehicle. 

My injured include 5 fractured facial bones, 10 stitches on my forehead, and severe swelling from musle separation from the soft tissues in my lower back. 

After 3 days in the hospital I am currently in recovery, but there will substantial medical costs that I will have difficulty covering on my own. While I know many of you may not have much after the holidays, I would greatly appreciate any and all help, even one dollar makes a great deal of a difference. 

Thank you all so much for your love and support - I will keep you updated as I go through my recovery process.
