Christian's brain tumor recovery

Donation protected
Christian m,y son,  is the sweetest, most trusting kid you'd ever want to meet. We live near Annapolis Md. Unfortunately while walking to his car after the UMD-PSU football game Saturday 10/24, alone in Baltimore, he was jumped by 3 kids.  He was not knocked out but was knocked down when they punched him in his jaw. The suspects then proceeded to punch and kick him while he was down. Taking his wallet, phone and car keys. Somehow he was able to convince them into giving him his keys back, because he told them it was far away and that they would then be involved in a felony. 
 Leaving him beaten and broken on the sidewalk, they simply walked away laughing.  Christian got up and ran to his car just down the street, when they saw him trying to enter his car, they started back his way, yelling at him. Christian was able to get into his car and escape. He drove all the way home  in a daze, to afraid to stop for fear he was being followed. He called 911 when he got into the safety of him home. He couldn't stop along the way to ask to even use a phone because, like most of us, the numbers were in his phone not in his head!
 After a trip to the hospital to make sure he had no broken bones, he is recovering in the safety of our home with much pain,  multiple contusions, abrasions and swelling. 
 Now he can't work for a bit to make the money up what he lost, he had his car and insurance payment in his wallet. Nor can he afford another phone.  Anything raised will be used for his car and insurance payments, doctors bills, replacing his ID, etc.  and to purchase and activate another phone and wallet. Since he will not be working for at least a week, there is no way he can catch up.  With hope that this campaign  brings in even more money, he wants to donate money to  a program for Baltimore City youth that  keeps kids active in sports programs,.
 So with this event, the innocence changes and distrust will become the norm....a victim of a violent act, also trying to mentally recover....
 Christian just needs some help to get a phone and make his car payment and to get by,  pay Dr bills etc. The money will be put into a new bank account for Christian.
Any help one can offer would be amazing. Thank you in advance! And now after a robbery the cars and showed a change in his brain, turned out to be a tumor in his left frontal lobe...the fight changed to surgery to remove the large tumor and now recover and figure out how to live post op and how this will affect the rest of his life.
