A bride-to-be suffered multiple injuries after being attacked while celebrating her bachelorette party in Dallas, Texas over the weekend.

Canada Rinaldi, 27, from Oklahoma, had been out with friends on Saturday, March 22 on what “should have been one of the happiest nights of her life,” a GoFundMe page set up by a member of the bridal party, Kirsten McDowell, stated.

However, instead, the victim was left with a broken nose, three broken teeth and required eight stitches to her face after she was “violently assaulted,” a description on the page read.

“This horrifying attack happened just four weeks before her wedding,” the GoFundMe confirmed.

The bride-to-be was attacked at around 2 a.m. local time on the morning of Sunday, March 23 as the bachelorette group walked to their Uber after leaving a club in Deep Ellum, she told PEOPLE.

Rinaldi was knocked unconscious and fell to the pavement after being hit but tells PEOPLE on Thursday, March 27, that she’s “doing well” four days after the attack. 

“I don’t remember the attack; I only remember walking to my Uber and then being in and out of the ambulance and hospital,” she added of the attack.

The victim said that police now had a possible named suspect, telling PEOPLE that the update gave her “a lot of peace of mind.”

“My face is healing so quickly I will be almost if not fully healed on the outside by the wedding depending how my nose heals,” she said of her recovery. “I will still have the best day of my life with the person I love no matter what I look like!”

“It’s just shocking. It’s just hard to believe,” Rinaldi said in a previous interview with local ABC-affiliated station WFAA. “It just feels like a lot of my experiences were taken away from me.”

“I feel like I’m not excited to plan my wedding anymore,” she added to the station. “I’m getting there, I’ll be okay, but it’s hard.”

Rinaldi’s future aunt-in-law, Kelly Peralta, was also hit after she tried to push the attacker away from the victim, per NBC 5 DFW.

“We started walking across the street to get into the Uber, and that’s when he came from behind and he punched Canada, and she went straight down, and I turned to push him away, and that’s when he got me,” Peralta recalled, according to the outlet.

The incident was reportedly captured on a Lyft driver’s dash camera, with police seen helping the victim, per Fox-affiliated station KDFW. The outlet added that the video caught a man running away from the scene, but police haven’t confirmed whether that’s the suspect.

A description on the GoFundMe page read, “Just 24 hours earlier, [Rinaldi] had told us she was having ‘the best trip of her life.’ That happiness was ripped away from her in an instant, turning it into the most terrifying and traumatizing night she’s ever experienced.”

The page stated that she’d been left with huge medical expenses. 

“She is now trying to heal—not only physically, but emotionally and financially—when she should be counting down the days to her wedding,” the message read. “Please consider helping her during this heartbreaking time. No one should have to face something like this, let alone carry the cost of their own trauma.”

The page had raised just over $12,900 as of Thursday, March 27.

Dallas Police Department didn’t immediately respond when contacted by PEOPLE for additional information.
