Rashad’s Medical Recovery from Pit Bull Attack

Hello, My name is Katrina and I am fundraising for my son Rashad who has been brutally attacked as well as having a deadly weapon almost pulled out on him, the vehicle he was driving was stolen from him, and his wallet was stolen using up his credit card running his charge card up to almost $1,000 all within one day.

On July 2nd, my son was assaulted by a group of guys and carjacked. He was also attacked by a pit bull dog. As a result, he was left with several deep wounds and lacerations on both of his legs. He was immediately rushed to the Emergency Room for medical treatment and needs to go through a series of vaccinations for rabies.

Rashad is a man who is full of life, creativity, and artistry. He posses a high spirit of compassion for others. But unfortunately, this tragedy has left him medically injured as well as adversely emotionally impacted.

This happened right in Chinatown DC, in front of Jackie’s restaurant where he was simply working his second job through Uber Eats trying to make an honest living. I’m sharing this story because as my child became victimized from an unprovoked and unforeseen crime perhaps this can bring more light and attention to the crimes that are increasing taking place in the District of Columbia. It’s becoming very dangerous out here and we must always be aware of our surroundings. If it doesn’t look, feel, or even smell right 9 times out of 10 it isn’t right. Follow your gut feeling !

Unfortunately, from this incident, my son has been left with an astronomical amount of medical expenses and fees that has just become too much for him to bear alone.

I am kindly asking if you can contribute whatever you can to assist him with his medical expenses as it will be desperately needed. It will certainly be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and God Bless you!
