Help me replace my front teeth so I can smile again

Donation protected
My name is Dimitri Zaphiris and I am raising funds for myself to offset extra costs to replacing my teeth as well as prescriptions and any other medical that isn't covered and any other incidentals because of this horrendous situation.
On June 21 at 11:40 I was unloading lumber from vehicle to house on Dougall Rd, Kelowna BC ( by the the bus loop) I was approached from behind by 2 men that I'm quite sure came out of the house unfortunately cameras don't show and I have no corroboration from people within the house.
These 2 men asked for more lumber and as I turned and opened the back door of the van I was blind side sucker-punched on one side of my which in turn smashed my other side of face into van door and I then went down.
There was a moment I lost consciousness but I was up with enough time to see them leaving with my phone which I asked for and they threw into the field. How I was able to find it is something of a miracle itself.
I called my friend for a ride to the hospital where I sat for approximately 6 hours. I got both my cheeks broken, my front teeth knocked out and my jaw broken in 2 places.
Not fun
I came back to the hospital for surgery 3 days later and it went well. I can't say enough good about my surgeon, Dr. Gordon Wong and his people. Everyone was lovely and I appreciate them all.
So now I am stitched and plated up with no teeth and unable to chew for 6-8weeks.
I am having troubles with some prescription costs and meals as well as I don't have a proper coverage for full teeth replacement as far as I can tell. I was very hesitant to set this up but I am kind of hooped.
A police report and investigation is happening but so far, no real leads. Are there Private Investigators in this town?
Please let me know if I can answer any questions. I appreciate you all
Thanks for taking the time to read this
Sincerely,
Dimitri Zaphiris
