Hate Crime Victim During Travelling

Donation protected

Hello everybody :)

I am Liam Anthony Tong, 23, from Coventry in England. I love Metal Music and I love travelling the World, seeing new things and Cultures, but also making new friends in these other Countries. Although, unfortunately, my last encounter, unfrotunately wasn't a good one.

So, I was in the Centre of Kyiv (Ukraine) at 2pm in the bright daytime, walking towards a park, by some traffic lights this gang of 3 Teenagers/Young-Adults, threw a snowball at me and then kicked my suitcase for no reason, I thought it was just some stupid people, so I carried on walking and ignored them. About 60/75 seconds later, as I was about to turn a curve in the road by the park, one of the group of people ran over towards me and pushed me with a large force to the ground instantly, then whilst I lay there confused (From the sudden attack) 2 or 3 of them continued beating me for maybe 10..12 seconds, before they finally stopped. I got up and noticed the floor was covered in thankfully not thick, but blood everywhere, the snow had turned quite red with my blood. I turned to the side and the gang just stood and laughed before running off..

I genuinely thought I was going to die.

Below are some links to articles to show you what happened and to prove I'm not lying about this,
This will also be updated, when more sources report.

Part of the funds that I am asking for would be used to pay for Dental Treatment. Depending on the option of Treatment I am unsure how much this will cost, it could be £250 or possibly thousands of Pounds. I am not too certain unfortunately, but I will keep it update on here once I know.) As at least 5/6 of my teeth need to be extracted and replaced, potentially with dentures (Or other more expensive treatment), due to this hate crime. This needs to be sorted as soon as possible, because the pain of my teeth and also not being able to eat properly, or even use my teeth is a huge problem.

If I raise the goal, I will be donating a part to a Charity.  (This will be updated too with what Charity and %)
If it goes over the goal, then I will detail what the additional funds would be used for.

I am also trying to raise awareness for Hate Crime Victims, to show that these cases are not something "Less important" and to show that things like these are a serious problem in today's society.
