Donation protected
On July 24th 2016 I was attacked in my home, a young man who I was trying to help with his music,tried to kill me so that he could Rob me.
I shot him in self defense. Subsequently I was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Prior to the attack I had been homeless,i work my way back in to society by selling head phones and radios on the street corner. I was not able to eat properly at first. Soon I would be earning enough money for food and rent. I lived in hotel's for a while after sleeping at Union station. I became roommates with a young woman,who was very nice to me.
After meeting the manager of the apartment complex,i rented my own studio apartment. 
After one year I had fully furnished my place. I went to a furniture store, I paid him ten dollars a day lay away for my furniture. Then he gave me credit, would just drop off what I wanted,and I would pay my bill. Eventually I purchased some studio equipment online on credit. The young man found out about the studio and asked if I would record him, I said yes for a fee he paid half, and I started recording him. The second time he came over he attacked me, broke my arm in a fight. I was the one arrested I spent two years fighting the case, the case went to trial, I was charged with 1count attempted murder 1 count attempted manslaughter and 1 count of assault. After hearing how the young man set a woman on fire, threw another woman down the stairs,tried to drown one in the bath tub,hit another woman in the head with a bottle and cracking her skull,the  jury found me not guilty. Now I have to do it again and it was not easy to bounce back from homelessness . I am asking for help with this. so that I can rebuild my life and my business. My daughter is a full-time student at university of southern California. I need to help her. My son is a cellist he will graduate school this year and I have to help him. I want to buy him the cello he needs for his career as a cellist and classical musician. God bless you all
