<div>**UPDATE 07/11 at bottom
</div>
<div>On what started as a normal day, I saw someone who appeared to be in a car accident and stopped to help, wanting to do the right thing. Instead, I was attacked, my car was destroyed, and my life was put in danger. The person who attacked me also went after the police officer who arrived on the scene, and I had to help the officer subdue the attacker. The attacker had tried to attack a woman 10 minutes earlier, but she was able to drive away. I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, where I learned I had four broken ribs, a brain bleed, multiple contusions, and a concussion. The attacker kicked in the windshield, hood, and roof of my car. The physical pain and trauma from that day have been overwhelming, and the emotional toll has been just as heavy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Hans, and my family and I live paycheck to paycheck. We are not wealthy. Now, on top of trying to heal, <strong>I am facing auto and hospital deductibles, </strong>Even with insurance, I have no idea how these bills will be paid. This will help with bills and expenses. The uncertainty is frightening, and the financial burden is more than we can handle alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to help, I am deeply grateful. Please share my story with as many people as you can. <strong>This person tried to kill me, and I don't want anyone else to go through what I did.</strong> Together, we can bring awareness and support each other in times of need. From my heart and my family's heart, thank you for your kindness and support. You have no idea what we can accomplish together.. We need to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else. If you are ever in a situation where you are fighting for your life, fight with everything you have. Draw on all the love you have in your life and don't let the attacker take your life or your humanity from you.

</div>
<div>UPDATE. I feel the system victimizes survivors equally as attacker. This man was charged w a crime w penalties equal to stealing $500. Also, my insurance has denied the PIP (personal injury protection) portion of my claim, which helps cover the medical bills because I was not directly involved in accident. I cant even begin to imagine the total financial liability with all these new developments but I'm Alive!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But even with all that we are entering the holiday weekend and please smile and wish a stranger you are passing a happy holiday weekend. I know for me especially, w these events, it would be so meaningful. Together, we can make a difference, also remember even individually we do as well. Blessing to all my new friends. From the bottom of my soul and heart I love you all. Remember thats how we are designed at birth. To love and protect each other. THANK YOU!
</div>
<div>Update:
</div>
<div>From the bottom to top of every inch of my body and soul I thank you!
</div>
<div>He is still charged w simple battery which has very similar consequences as stealing 500 bucks of merchandise. Ive received no return calls back from victims advocates attorney generals office or attorney General office. In some aspects I beleive they are worse than the attacker because their job is too protect us! THIS MAN CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES FIR THIS OR WHAT WILL STOP HIM FROM DOING IT AGAIN! I Refuse to be victimized over and over. Also, any funds should I be able to collect from him YOU HAVE MY WORD I will put a portion back into others thru their gofundme campaigns on your behalf. Keep in mind he has a $5k bond and he has not bonded out. I wonder if he's always been a crappy person and thats why no one is helping him. I truly want to thank each of you in person. I know that's an impossible task at moment but what if! I My soul has been healed because as I knew good people exist. We,ve all shown that together. Many people have reached out to ask for updates im going to ask the news people if they can help me establish a Facebook, tiktok and Instagram account for these updates. I also am determined to somehow thank each of you individually with a handshake and a hug. I mean that. I beleive his evil act has rewarded us all w seeing humanity at its best. Especially at s time when we needed to see it. I think the universe has given me a mission to spread the word of kindness. We need a way to look each other in the eyes and say thank you thru more than social media. I promise I will work to honor you all. Once I get the help I need to get the socials up, im going to need idea from you all. We cant let this outpouring of love and support go unnoticed we need it to continue. He has lit a fire in me. You all dont know but I,m a survivor I've had other try to take my spirit and soul and It hasnt worked then and didnt this time. I promise to come up w something so we all know kindness exist and we will find a way daily to share w each other. I dont know exactly how yet but w news, you all we will get something figured out, TOGETHER! Please stay involved I WILL find someone to help w the social media aspect so we all csn keep in touch and help each other. Lets start and keep a grassroots effort of kindness going indefinitely. From my soul that is my focus and goal. We can help others together! Blessing on this holiday morning to all. I'm pretty sore today so if message is a little off its because of the pain meds. Hahahaha. Love to each of you! Hans

</div>
<div>Please repost and share the videos and just talk to your family and friends. This way YOU are making a difference. I guarantee you will get messages thanking you. This could have been anywhere!

<div>UPDATE. 04-10-26
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Still no upgraded charges. A simple battery is still the charge. I did a live w Chanel 35 fox orlando this morning in studio in an attempt to keep you updated, because i owe that to you . The socials are coming slowly hopefully this weekend and i wont hsve to update any longer via this page. For the most part this social media stuff is new to me. Im trying ny best between doctor follow ups, calls to prodecutors office and gathering my own evidence for their case.l even tho ive signed releases for all the information. Media is telling me to hire an attorney to push the prosecutors office. From what im being told the attacker has nothing of value and another case has been filed by his girlfriend or wife for eviction from her home. Imagine that poor womans horror. I hope she is ok.
</div>
<div>If we reach the goal l, it will allow me to be ok for the most part financially. I simply cant hire multiple attorney's the prosecutors office should be looking out for me snd they aren't, at least up until this point. This is certainly eye opening. Slowly im making progress on the social media outlets so we can connect there. Again, i dont know what to say, other than thank you. Its your messages and kind gestures w healing words helping me mentally to fight the storm ahead. Physically im healing. Mentally its really tough. I mean tough. Everything i think we are okay another road block hits whether w his charges or us financially and more specifically emotionally. Im afraid to sit w myself and reconcile the events. I know im not ready for that yet. I want to say there are 100's of messages coming in offering words of kindness not just to me, but to you as well. I will share those messages on social media if the originator allows me too. Here is just one message from a young lady. Ive tsken out her personal information. Imagine if we could find thebperson whonshe is refering too and allow her to thank him in person. I promise im doing much more than you know to make this evil a tsunami of love. Here is her message to me
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi Hans. I saw your story on the news. I barely survived a car accident, I just wanted to say I hope you know that when someone stopped to report my accident it gave me such hope. I was pinned in my car, bleeding internally, with broken bones and a bursted bladder. I couldn't reach my phone, but someone saw my accident and pulled over. He never came to the car, but just seeing him made me feel better, cuz I saw he was calling the cops. What happened to you was unfair and terrible. But I hope you don't let that terrible person take away your faith in humanity. I never got to thank the man who helped me, so I'll thank you instead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How inspiring is her message.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Again to all the souls w humanity, love and kindness we are not alone Thank you. I'm finally able to fully love on my 3 fur babies w big hugs again. Their love is so comforting as your messages are as well. Blessings to us all!

<div>I had to pass by the spot where the attack took place. My anxiety was thru the roof. I didnt expect my body to react that way. I had to head to shop to get a few things out of my car as its still in shop. I didnt make it into shop because when I saw the shop I was overwhelmed w a sense of anxiety and fear so much so I pulled over and was throwing up. I still hsve not sat down mentally to reconcile the incident. I certainly hope this passes. I don't know why this happened. I have to have my car to drive and survive. Ive never experienced this before. I cant explain why it happened so I dont know how to not let it happen again. Otherwise physically im healing. I guess im very far behind mentally tho. I hope my mind heals as well and the car doesnt become a trigger. Idk what to do to stop my mind cycling. Again, thanks everyone. Btw his charges have not been upgraded. Still a misdemeanor
</div>
