"Welcome 🙏 I am fully grateful for your interest in reading about my journey and your support !! I will start with a little introduction of who I am for those that are just learning about me"

  *Aaron is my name and I am a mid 40's local, raised in Guelph Ontario. During my time here I have always lived in the downtown area of this small city and grew up attending all the community events. Especially within our well known music scene, including in 1984 my family helped to start the "Hillside Festival" (Guelph's famous yearly Multicultural Music Festival). .. *As an adult over the years, I have had my private health practice in the downtown area. I specialize in trauma release therapy and fully grasp the reality of what I am faced with.  Please see my website to learn more about myself and my work at astillpointplace.com.  (*Note: Sadly for myself and clients, I have recently shut down my office due to safety concerns for myself and clients as well as dealing with my severe injuries.)   *Right now in Guelph's downtown I have my home, office, Dr's, Therapist, Community outreach with the homeless, Bank, Friends, Farmer's Market.. Etc. (A.K.A. "My Life") are all within a 5 block radius of where I was attacked.. Because of the nature and proximity in my life of this destructive event. I will be relocating away from Guelph for the safety of myself, my children and the people around me.  I need to be responsibly strategic during this time in my life and at my age. Any help in any form let it be Encouragement, Advice, Insights, Emotional and Spiritual support, Networking for relocating, Business or even Therapist references you have, please share. Along with any financial donations small or generous are immensely useful and fill me with gratitude 🙏... Thank you !!

*Please read my story below, of which you will be supporting myself to rebuild from.  * My injuries are physical needing surgery, rehabilitation therapy and therapeutics. As well as psychological of which I am needing specialized therapy similar to military Veterans. *The depth of my rehabilitation and its duration of time are unknown, as all head and brain injuries are unique. However, my situation is extreme and most likely will continue to be a challenge in various ways as I age.

You can donate directly through E-Transfer to myself here at aaron@astillpointplace.com or through this site. Thank you 🙏

"Every donation helps me in the present, Helping me prepare for the future.." .. "Thank You" 

           "This is a synopses of what happened and the main points I feel to share. Caution: Their may be details of violence that can be triggering to some. This is however the story I am living through and I must be honest. I thank you for reading and at least being a witness to my story... "

*My Story*

• 3 weeks prior at the same location of my attack, downtown outside and beside a patio listening to a reggae music DJ. A man across the side walk was blatantly staring at me for minutes. He then came up face to face with me angrily telling me he was going to kill me. Before anything happened, his friend came right over and took him away. I just thought he was drunk and out of control like soo many others downtown these days, but I was wrong. He meant what he said.
• The night I was attacked, at the same place doing the same thing listening to reggae music beside the same patio I attend weekly (note: I don't drink and didn't feel like being on the patio with others drinking. I usually just keep to myself. So as to say, I am shy, sober and not in anyone's space just appreciating the music). That same man as a few weeks prior came up to me again, yelling at me "I'm going to kill you!!". 
• This time he had a gang with him of about 12 men. While half of them cheered on the others instigating the violence and taking video recordings of it all. The other 6 men circled me all screaming vehemently.. "Your people don't fight back, We will kill your people !! Your people won't fight, We will kill your people ! We will kill you !! We will kill you !!!" Over and over again the whole time full of rage and hatred. I have never imagined I would witness, let alone experience this level of a hate crime in my life.. But I now have. I lived It..
• When they attacked me, by the time I was dealing with the forth man in front of me. I was focused on him reaching for a weapon from inside his shoulder pouch.. He screamed, wide eyed and demonically "I'm going to Kill you !!".. Distracted for a moment, the two men behind me hit my head and kicked my knee out bringing me to the ground, now stuck kneeling on my blown out knee.
• Once I was grounded, all 6 men were now able to over power me. At this point they only focused on attacking my head. (Note: Only two places on my body were damaged. My one knee that was kicked out and the only other place I received damage was my head. Horrifically, their intentions were clear. They were trying to kill me by destroying my head.) I tried desperately to deflect as many kicks and stomps as possible. At one point for a moment, my arms were held open as I was kneeling down and a bunch of them were kicking at my head. Many blows landed as I could only try unsuccessfully to move out of the way, until I fought my arms free. I never gave up. My hands never touched the ground throughout this savagery, I battled the whole time. Yet, even if I could put an arm up between a kick to my head "blocking" it, the impact would still render a concussion from my head being jarred so violently. "It felt like they were actually trying to execute me..."
• 6 men in full rage kicking me as fast and hard as they can was what I endured. Each man would be able to make about 1 kick per second each. Hypothetically, say 3 out of the 6 kicks landed while I am trying to dodge them. That makes it about 3 impacts per second. They were on top of me, keeping me down beating me for minutes. The math makes it about 180 kicks to my head a minute. Say only 25% hit solid. That is about 45 major impacts/concussions a minute.. Even if you cut that number of 45 impacts by 50%, it would equate to around 20 full impacts to my head. How ever you want to do the math from 6 men attacking me, any amount of the type of kicks to ones head that I received can produce major damage. *Please Note: Repetitive concussions have greater consequences of damage with every added blow. *My brain damage is unknown as to how I am affected as I age. Disturbingly, all science points to a far more rapid deterioration of my mind the older I get. That means memory lose/dementia.. (Google "affects of repetitive concussions" for a clearer perspective)
• All of the Dr's and Police I have seen and spoken with can not believe that I lived through the type of beating I received. Or even that I am not in a coma, paralyzed or as cognitive as I am. I am truly graced to have what health I do have... But only because wilfully, I fought for my life.. *If I stopped fighting, I would have stopped living. To me, dying is Not an option !! I am a father and I love my children, I must stay alive for them... And so, I fought true evil that night... *Aside from all the war wounds, I am truly happy to be alive. Yet, I am in need of quite a lot more healing with a long road of recovery ahead.. My fight continues🙏
• I have major migraine head aches, neck and jaw pain, nerve damage, memory loss, word retrieval challenges, insomnia, night terrors, light and sound sensitivity...Ect. I am basically dealing with the whole gambit of major concussion symptoms. I will need rehabilitation therapy and therapeutics to heal and sustain my brain health as I age.
• From the impacts to my head I have nerve damage in one of my eyes. Now I need glasses. *You can see in my left eye its damage in one of the images above in the image gallery. This picture was taken 2 weeks after the incident with a lot of my cosmetic damage healed. * I have more eye appointments to watch for further deterioration. I may be needing stronger prescriptions at a perceived faster than normal rate. I had perfect vision up until now. My left eye continues to feel like its burning from the nerve damage.
• My nose was broken in numerous places. The hospital did not set my nose, clean the blood off of me nor did they disinfect my cuts... "Canadian health care, eh!?!?"   *Primally, on my own I set my broken nose as best I could when I got home. I did what I could but I can't breath as well as I was able to before. I will need minor surgery to bring me back to normal.
• Teeth chipped and cracked needing dental work. 
• Torn cartilage in my knee keeping me from walking normally for any real amount of time or capacity, let alone working professionally doing physically demanding jobs. I can not do forestry, landscaping, construction, stone masonry, farming or any work similarly that have been areas of work I could access in the past. My knee injury now renders me unemployable in that world. *I need surgery, I have been told it may take a year to be given an appointment for surgery. To then wait over a year until the surgery even happens. So, I wont get surgery for maybe two years (maybe more) from receiving the injury.  "Canadian health care eh!?!??.." ..  Honestly I don't feel I can trust the Canadian health system to even do a quality surgery, especially with everything I have experienced so far. Being able to pay for surgery would be best to get me in trusted working shape a.s.a.p. Not only is my mobility hindered, the pain I am enduring especially while trying to sleep, is a big issue. Waiting two years is Seriously Unrealistic !! Private Surgery might be a 4 month waiting and will cost around $20,000 estimate.
• Head and neck trauma from the impacts needing rehabilitation, such as Deep tissue massage, acupuncture, Cranialsarcal or similar therapies, as well as therapeutics for the pain.
• Due to the intensity and degree of racism and violence I endured, my level of PTSD is "complex/severe". I have gone through 2 therapists so far. Both saying they don't know how to help me with the issue at hand. I am highly encouraged to find a specialized psychotherapist working with military veterans and victims of severe violence. A.K.A. Actual P.T.S.D 
• Out of the 6 men who attacked me, 4 were cought and arrested. They were arrested as they had my blood all over them as evidence from the attack. The rest ran away. 3 of them, after being arrested were let go with no charge the next day. The last 1 was only charged with assault (Note: The lawyers I have spoken to all say that the case was mishandled. The police even determined the charge before they got my full statement and never even got the video footage from security cameras 15 ft from the attack for use in the court case. It was not an "assault", it is obviously "Premeditated attempted murder classified in the category of a Hate Crime"). That 1 convicted man was also allowed to be free the day after the attack. So, this full racist gang of 12 men, of whom half tried to literally murder me in a genocidal racist way, are walking around my small home town free. They have high def video of me and obviously are very dangerous to myself and anyone I am seen with. "Canadian criminal system Eh ?!?!?" Note: Aside from the absurdity with the lack of justice. My lawyers advice is that they have no assets to sue for. So, there is no reason to pay for any lawyer fees if my goal is to be compensated for the crime, pain, suffering and to heal from it all. *This then is leaving me with no financial aid to use for healing from all damages of my body, mind, finances and ability to live safely in my home community.. I also need to mention the impact on my children. Them knowing what happened to their father and how it has completely destroyed my life is disturbing for them to witness.. We will need therapy together as well, how ever that looks like.. (*If I wanted to pay for a lawyer to work on this case and maybe get some justice and further consequences happening I can pay a $4000 retainer to a lawyer and have them do their best. I will soon set up a specific crowd fund for lawyer fees to support that cause directly.) .. *Right Now, I have no energy or time for the legal aspects of the situation. *I, myself have to focus on fixing all the problems from this mess to the best of my abilities. The legal system and community support systems have failed me. I am broken and alone in many ways.. "Your Help is greater than you may think 💛"
• I am not safe here in Guelph and I will not risk the safety of my children when visiting me here. With this racist blood lusting gang around town, I need to relocate A.S.A.P. In addition I am homeless as of April 2024 with no were to go due to lack of financial stability.
• Special Note: There were at least 40 people watching downtown on the Saturday night. The attack lasted for a while with no one helping to save me from the violence.. You can bet many of the spectators were also video recording the sadistic acts.. All while, NO one even phoned 911 (An Officer told me later at the hospital that I was the only one who called ).. Only after I brought myself to stand up from the ferocious beating, did I phone 911.. I was the only one to help myself... It was a miracle I was cognitive enough to direct the police through finding the attackers and getting myself to the ambulance..  " I Lost All Faith in Humanity that night.. " ..." No one helped me.. Every one left me for dead"..  "Please, Help me see I can believe some people in our society actually have compassion and care for others... Even a little encouragement feels Big these days"

*This tragedy happened at the beginning of September 2023. My life was already quite challenging financially, Yet looking positive with gains and potentials.. I am always focusing on how to keep moving forward, being productive and creating success with what is around me no matter the situation. But since the attack, I have barely been able to heal what I have with soo much more to deal with. I have run out of resources and the gracious help my few close friends can offer, only will go so far. Sadly, I have no supportive family and am not prepared for this kind of rapture in my life... *I honestly don't think any one could be prepared for this kind of abuse and chaos.. This is why I am asking for Help 🙏
