18 months ago Andrew Oppelman was randomly attacked in Austin, Texas during Gay Pride Weekend.

Dr. Gary Cash, D.D.S. heard about the incident and wanted to help. The Austin dentist, originally from Michigan and now practicing in an office at 1500 W 38th St, has donated ongoing services to replace the teeth, and still has more to do.

Oppelman is quoted by Buzzfeed as saying, "My spirit has been broken. but because of the support I am on the mend."
