Help My Friend Escape From Abuse - UPDATE!
10 years ago
I'm taking Commissions! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/32167646/ I'm not near as active on FA as I am on DA, and since I get few responses on here I don't feel the need to update anything. Well, with a HUGE thank you for
FALendAHand I'm giving you guys an update (unless you also watch my DA and already know about this)
Help my friend escape an abusive situation by donating to her GoFundMe or help spread the word! The smallest dollar or the smallest signal boost can get my friend one step closer to the freedom she so desperately deserves!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So a while ago I wrote some journals about my friend Griffy who was in a very, very tight and dangerous domestic abuse situation with her boyfriend, who belittles her and makes her feel like nothing. He doesn't hit her, as she is physically stronger then the rat, but the verbal abuse is so bad that even I start to cry when I hear about this stuff. Griffy is like the sister I've never physically met and we've known each other for about 8-9 years now through our passion of RPing. We're even planning on making a book out of our RP someday (still a dream, as it's been a dream of ours for as long as we can remember with one other RP, but it's exciting!). However, her abusive boyfriend is forcing her to do his bidding, and then turns around to ridicule her for doing the things he wanted.
This boyfriend is really, REALLY messed up. Like if I was there I would "accidentally" hit him with a wrecking ball. >m<
Anyways, about the update, I and some lovely donators have managed to raise my friend $500! It's far from her original goal, but it was practically a first goal to be achieved in helping my friend out. She has had this one old truck forever, and for a long while now it's not been working because it needs a few new parts in order to get it running again. The boyfriend refused to help her with it (but he flipped absolute ape shit crazy when she wouldn't/couldn't help pay for his own car), and that truck is pretty much her number one way of getting out of there before things get even worse (although it's been hell for my friend for three years because she's been stuck with him and one nasty/smelly roommate that share the apartment). She has gotten the first check from GoFundMe and had cashed it in, so she's hiding the cash from her boyfriend for now so he doesn't ask why she suddenly has more money in her bank account, and she's waiting for an opportunity to find a good repairman and get her truck fixed.
My friend has also (after months of searching) found a job and is steadily getting some money into her account. It's a janitor's job so the hours and pay aren't super great, but she's been doing so well at her job that her boss is giving her a lot more responsibilities and hours, as well as allowing her to get a ton more time once summer rolls around. She has OCD so she loves cleaning and organizing, so she can't complain. xD
I just like to thank anyone who either has, or will donate to my friend's cause. If I could I would teleport out there, grab her and her cat and everything she owns, and then teleport her back to my place. If only that were possible. This summer, as this is my last semester of college, I'm planning on opening up some special commissions that if someone buys the certain commission, the money goes straight to my friend. Probably $30 chibis like the Chibi Cuddles picture in my gallery or ones that look like the Christmas Gifts or the Happy Halloween! I made. What do you guys think? What else could I do to really help my friend get to freedom? She's sadly tried asking for help to authorities, but they said that unless they had "physical proof" that he was abusing her, they can't do anything. It's so sad people don't understand that verbal abuse if just as terrible as physical abuse, but it's also sad that so many people exploit that in order to make someone else's life miserable. So my wish is to raise her just enough money so that she can move herself out of there and into a much happier life.
