View on XDespite sustaining numerous injuries, Clarisse is staying strong. She says she "credits faith in God for getting her through this". A friend, who was also injured in the altercation "believes the crime could be" motivated by hate, but Clarisse is skeptical, ABC 7 News reports.
Clarisse has one message for her assailants. "Know that you're loved, know people are there to help you. I know it's hard now but we need to get back and have people in work and school so they are productively occupied and don't feel like they need to do things."
