Hey everyone my name is Amazzhi, aka @issamazzhi on IG, i know a lot of you have seen the news story and have advocated the reasons behind the attack. if you haven't this is the link to the story below. https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/protesters-march-brooklyn-two-men-attacked-alleged-anti-gay-assault-rcna1942

My friend Abimbola Adelaja and myself were both violated Friday night, I was just visiting the city and linking friends before heading on my way to London to start a brand new chapter in my life. But this life shit is crazy...you can't control it... Im glad to say that my friend had been discharged from ICU a few days ago and back at his home in Brooklyn recovering and protesting against such hateful and heinous acts of violence. This is the frontline! This is how real change starts...currently I am still in ICU healing from 7 stabs/lacerations from an icepick to my chest shoulders neck and head and two collapsed lungs... its been a whole week here in the hospital since ive had my phone wallet, ID bank cards etc was stolen and Ive been struggling to find a way to reconnect. With this digital age everything requires two factor authentication for me to access personal apps and information and being without a phone Ive literally been digitally locked out of recovering my life. Im not from New York I have no family here and very loose friendships but I'm hoping in these times this is an opportunity for me to change that. I am no longer able to fly due to the collapsing of both my lungs ...i need a place to stay and recover, rental assistance money towards renting a space, a phone or money towards getting one, I really don't even know how to ask for help i asked my friend not to mention me because i'm always that one strong friend and its such a mental hardship to get over and be vulnerable enough to let others know whats going on and help me. But Im here... I need help trying to be ok and not be discharged into a homeless shelter in Brooklyn. I really don't have much time here and I don't know what else to say..
