<div>My name is Ashley Bennett, I met Phil I few years ago and we bonded over our love of football and going gym, as soon as I found out what had happened I wanted to help him so I set this GoFundMe up to help.

<div>As reported by the Mail online…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“The tourist, whose name was reported as 38-year-old Philip Donald, was staying at a beachside guesthouse in Praia do Cumbuco, Ceara State, with his Brazilian partner Ruth Mary Silva de Oliveira Ribeiro when the pair were set upon by a violent robber.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The unidentified attacker, sporting a motorbike crash helmet, approached the pair at hotel reception just before 4pm as they were leaving the building for the nearby Fortaleza airport.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Terrifying CCTV footage shows how the crook demanded their cash before grabbing the 46-year-old Brazilian national and trying to pull her away, only for the British victim to dive into action and prevent the would-be thief from escaping.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The trio became locked in a bitter struggle which spilt out into the hotel gardens where the robber pulled out a gun and fired a flurry of shots at his victims.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mary unfortunately died at the scene and Phil is now in hospital after being shot in the back and cannot feel his legs now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These donations will go towards bringing Phil’s family out to be with him in Brazil and relocating him to a private hospital for his injuries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*UPDATE*
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any costs not associated with Phil’s  medical treatment or travel for family members to visit him will go towards any legal fees that he may incur. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to everyone that has donated so far.
