    Good Morning,

    Last week, footage was released of a mentally challenged man in Germantown, Philadelphia getting sucker punched in the head by ruthless teenagers. The victim walked away but still fell victim to another punch. Fortunately the teenagers were arrested and are facing charges

    However, I am moved to try and don't know where to start in regards to offering some support or aid to this man, who works at a supermarket.

    Here is a link to the video:

    (I don't want to give the DailyMail excessive clicks, so if someone knows how to embed the video, that's greatly appreciated!)

    I am curious whether my CF brethren know the proper avenues in reaching out and offering aid to this man.

    Apart from the horrible nature of the video, the guy took the punch like a champ.

    Hey CF,

    Thankfully, someone in the community is setting up a gift basket for Mark (the victim) and expected to deliver it sometime next week.

    If you're moved to donate, just message the lady. I was thinking of just sending her money through Venmo to put towards the gift basket.

    Here's the FB link:

    I'm a broke post-grad, about to start grad school, so I'm strapped for cash, but I'm trying to see if anything can be done about offering a legitimate fund for Mark and his parents who still care for him, and provide any resources that are necessary.

    I will post updates here. You guys are awesome!

    Have a blessed day!
