UPDATE ON MARCH 2: After the story aired about Amanda Bunora being attacked and robbed on her way home from a local 7-Eleven, we received quite a few offers of help for the victim.

One local couple met with Bunora on Wednesday and handed her an envelope with $500 inside.

Bunora lost her tax refund and rent money when she was robbed. She's also missed quite a bit of work while she has been recovering from being attacked. The money she received from the generous couple will definitely help Amanda get back on her feet.

The police are still looking for the man who attacked Bunora after watching her at her workplace. If you recognize the man, please contact the police.
