On 9/18/2026, I was assaulted in downtown Seattle in a hate crime while walking to a convenience store near my work. A stranger targeted me with racist and homophobic slurs, pulled me to the ground, and bit a piece of my face off. I was taken to the hospital, and I am now living with permanent injuries that require surgery.

Since this happened, my day-to-day life has completely changed. I can’t work right now, and I am dealing with anxiety on top of the physical trauma. I also need therapy as I try to recover from what happened to me.

Your support will help me with:

• Unpaid wages while I am unable to work
• Surgery I need because of this attack
• Recovery-related support, including therapy

I need help now as I face the financial and emotional impact of this violence. If you are able to donate or share this fundraiser, it would mean so much to me. Thank you for standing with me during my recovery.
