Help Emanuel Heal and Prepare for Baby Amani

Hey everyone,

It really pains me to have to write this, so bear with me.

During the early morning hours on 10/15/25 at 2:55am I got a call from my mother in law that my fiancé was jumped and in the emergency room.

When I walked in and saw the love of my life bludgeoned I literally was speechless… in such a state of shock I couldn’t even process.

My giant teddy bear love was jumped and pistol whipped from behind while waiting in line to get food from a food truck.

He was attacked with guns by THREE masked assailants and blacked out.

By the grace of God, he survived the attack.

He woke up in the back on an ambulance, but he woke up.

As some of you may already know, we are expecting our babygirl Amani in the next couple of months.

Our third kiddo.

Emanuel is in no shape to get back to work at this time.

In addition to living expenses and the obvious facial trauma, he suffers from a pretty severely sprained ankle from being bluntly forced to the ground.

(we are awaiting ortho referral on treatment and plan)

I started this to help raise money to help cover out bills while he’s off but also his dental care (must-huge cause of the insurmountable pain he is in)/ER & Ambulance bills.

Rootcanal and crown have been quoted for treatment plan after swelling comes down

1,800 for root canal & 1,100 for crown.

(no dental insurance coverage at this time-covers after 12 months of being active; In addition, we are working on 2nd opinion)

In addition to those expenses, also replacing his prescription eyewear that was destroyed, vision assessment to ensure his retina is still in tact (this eye had previous eye surgery for detached retina in the past)

In addition, to these expenses also want to help alleviate the financial strain with him having to take off from work and relying on my sole income right now.

Working full-time, while 7 months pregnant, and high risk (chronic hypertension)

Anticipated c-section around Christmas Day - is alot on myself and our family.

We all are struggling and we understand more than you know, trust me.

But we truly greatly appreciate all the kind words, prayers, positive vibes, donations and shares.

We are speechless with the amount of kindness, selflessness and generosity our community still inherits after this horrific event. Gives us hope in mankind and raises our spirits to just continue to try every single day.

God bless and thank you. ❤️‍
