Hi, my name is Nohseong Park and I am fundraising for my girlfriend and myself following a traumatic incident.
Late at night on the 27th, going into the 28th 2026, my girlfriend and I were walking home after enjoying a late dinner with a friend. What should have been a peaceful walk home turned into a nightmare when we were suddenly targeted in a brutal, unprovoked physical assault by an unknown Caucasian male.
The most disturbing part was that the attack seemed to be triggered the moment we began speaking to each other in Korean. We believe we were targeted not only as "easy targets" due to our smaller stature but also because of our language and ethnicity.
The physical and emotional toll has been devastating:
Injuries: I suffered a missing front tooth, several adjacent teeth are failing, a nasal fracture, and deep facial lacerations that required 10 stitches. My girlfriend was also repeatedly punched in the face while trying to protect me, resulting in head injuries and severe swelling.
Financial Strain: As a restaurant server, I am currently unable to return to work due to my injuries and the trauma. We are facing mounting medical bills, including urgent dental restoration costs expected to be several thousand dollars, on top of our daily living expenses and rent.
Loss of Security: During the chaos of the assault, my phone was also lost/stolen, adding to the stress of an already overwhelming situation.
We are reaching out to our community for help. The funds raised will be used directly for:
Urgent Dental Surgery and Medical Treatments
Mental Health Support to deal with the trauma (PTSD)
Essential Living Expenses while I am unable to work
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a world of difference as we try to heal and rebuild our lives. Even if you cannot donate, sharing our story would mean so much to us.
Thank you for your kindness and support during this incredibly difficult time.
