    A local man, "Paul," was brutally attacked by three men in Victorville, CA on October 28, 2014 for identifying as homosexual.

    Since his attack, law enforcement has advised that he relocate for his safety. However, with some of the attackers at still at large, he cannot return to work – nor has he been physically able to since the incident. Without income and without a safe home, "Paul's" life is on hold because of the harm others inflicted upon him for loving who he loves.

    Against his nature, "Paul" he has reached out to me for help. On his behalf, I am reaching out to you so that we can help "Paul" re-start a life of care and wholeness.

    Now is the time to help him! Aside from the emotional and physical pain requiring assistance, "Paul" needs help with the multiple expenses of moving/relocating his life. The lack of income that he is facing now needs to be addressed.

    Donate to "Paul" to help provide:

    Daily food and hygiene.

    Traveling expenses.

    Medical, physical, and mental health care.

    Rental/utility assistance.

    A place where he is safe and life where he is loved for being part of the LGBT community.

    Please share this, talk about it, spread the word. This sort of violence is NOT okay and, yes, it is happening in our backyards, schools, and communities.
