A British woman who went to Peru on a yoga retreat to 'find herself' has vanished after spending the last month sleeping rough after her passport and money were stolen in a violent robbery.
Hannah Almond, 32, a fashion graduate from Grimsby, was left stranded, penniless and unable to reliably contact her family after the attack, with all her remaining belongings torched by local thugs.
She vanished two days ago after befriending an elderly homeless man at a ramshackle camp under the Belén Bridge in Cusco.
Now her desperate friends have launched a GoFundMe page to cover the costs of sending her relatives to Peru to track her down and bring her home, as trauma from the attack has left her too scared to accept help from embassy officials.
A family friend told MailOnline: 'She is one of the most pure loving souls ever - she is very generous and always wants to help people. 'But she does not trust anyone after getting robbed and assaulted. Some locals burned all her belongings from under the bridge.
