Hello everyone, Saturday night my father Ryan Martin threw me an amazing graduation party. All of a sudden around 1am, a bunch of uninvited kids showed up. I told my dad I didn’t know who those kids were and my dad and family members were doing their best to kick them out. Next thing we know, the most traumatic thing happened. My dad got attacked and horribly assaulted. The first attacker, that had not been there the whole time, shows up and knocked him out. The attacker then went to my other family members and beat them up. This then started a “brawl” and everyone was fighting. Some of the attackers even hit me (a woman) and knocked me out causing a possible concussion and bruising. Someone punched my 11-year-old brother in the eye causing cornea scratch damage. Yes, my family members and I have damage done to us as well but my dad needs the most medical attention.

My father had to get stitches and get them glued shut on his eyebrows because one of the attackers punched him into bricks causing the biggest and deepest gash on his eyebrow. Another proceeded to stomp on his face and body causing bruising and open wounds that needed to be stitched on his other eyebrow. He has at least one chipped tooth. He also has a broken nose and broken maxilla (upper jaw/cheek bone). His left eye is completely swollen shut and now his right eye is slowly turning black and blue and shutting like the other. And due to the extreme amount of blood, it is extremely hard to remove at this point. There is so much more to our story and I would love to keep sharing, but the picture itself I believe is enough to show. He does not know I'm doing this I want to surprise him because he is a business owner and will not be able to work for a while. Any amount at all is very much so appreciated and would help our family so much considering he’s not the only one that has to get medical treatment, his is just the worst. My dad could easily have not been here with us today if they got one more punch in.

My dad does so much for everybody, he always puts everyone before himself. He is such a funny, fun, sweet caring guy. He loves to dance with me and show everyone how proud he is to be a father. This event traumatized myself, my father, and my family forever. Seeing my dad helpless with blood all over our house and patio, and his face and body is an image that will forever be embedded in my mind. Once again anything will help and be so so appreciated and would mean the world to me to see my dad happy and full of life again.
