My name is Ashley Bennett, I met Phil I few years ago and we bonded over our love of football and going gym, as soon as I found out what had happened I wanted to help him so I set this GoFundMe up to help.

As reported by the Mail online…
“The tourist, whose name was reported as 38-year-old Philip Donald, was staying at a beachside guesthouse in Praia do Cumbuco, Ceara State, with his Brazilian partner Ruth Mary Silva de Oliveira Ribeiro when the pair were set upon by a violent robber.
The unidentified attacker, sporting a motorbike crash helmet, approached the pair at hotel reception just before 4pm as they were leaving the building for the nearby Fortaleza airport.
Terrifying CCTV footage shows how the crook demanded their cash before grabbing the 46-year-old Brazilian national and trying to pull her away, only for the British victim to dive into action and prevent the would-be thief from escaping.
The trio became locked in a bitter struggle which spilt out into the hotel gardens where the robber pulled out a gun and fired a flurry of shots at his victims.”
Mary unfortunately died at the scene and Phil is now in hospital after being shot in the back and cannot feel his legs now.
These donations will go towards bringing Phil’s family out to be with him in Brazil and relocating him to a private hospital for his injuries.
*UPDATE*
Any costs not associated with Phil’s medical treatment or travel for family members to visit him will go towards any legal fees that he may incur.
Thanks to everyone that has donated so far.
