A GoFundMe has been set up to support an Alberta teenager and her family following an assault that occurred in the city on May 11, 2026.

According to the fundraiser posted on GoFundMe, the teenager, Rylin, was assaulted near the Collicutt Centre in Red Deer at approximately 2:30 p.m on Monday.

“This senseless attack has left Rylin with physical injuries, emotional trauma, and significant financial burdens for her mom, who will have to take time off work to deal with appointments and take care of her daughter,” the fundraiser reads.

Funds raised through the campaign are intended to support medical care, trauma counselling, lost income, legal fees, and other related costs during recovery.

As of writing, the GoFundMe campaign has raised $15,971 toward its $18,000 goal.

The incident is currently under investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
