This man had just received benefits of £700 in cash when he was attacked by four men, badly beaten and his money was stolen. His passport and ID papers were also taken. He had a blunt force trauma to his head and two fractured ribs with multiple bruises over him. This man was kicked while on the floor and left for dead in the middle of the day in broad daylight!! He cried on my shoulder when I saw him because he does not know how he is going to survive this month. Please would you help him? He is desperate!
