Donate to Help My Mom Escape Domestic Violence, organized by Jonathan E

I'm raising funds to help my mom escape domestic violence. My mom is a disabled So… Jonathan E needs your support for Help My Mom Escape

👋🏽 I'm raising funds to help my mom escape domestic violence.

My mom is a disabled South African immigrant who has experienced abuse and violence throughout her life. She is currently receiving threats from and is in constant fear of harm from her husband, who has grown increasingly unpredictable and has access to firearms.

Right now, my top priority is getting my mom out of the apartment she shares with him. There are laws where we live that will protect her through this process! However, since being married, my mom has lost the entirety of her savings due to ongoing financial abuse. Her husband refuses to financially contribute and has actively interfered with her ability to secure work, including intentionally disrupting remote interviews.

I have been paying for her rent and expenses as best I can, but my own experience of disability means I cannot work full-time, and I have limited savings.

My goal is to secure enough money for my mom to end her lease and be able to secure a new apartment as soon as conceivably possible. This would amount to about a year's worth of rent and would restore the $20,000 in savings she's lost. In the meantime, I will also be reaching out within our local community to see if anyone can provide her with emergency housing in the interim.

Any additional funding past this goal would go towards helping my mom rebuild her life and reconnect to her sense of autonomy as she starts to heal.

She is a kind, loving person who has supported me through everything. We've both experienced a lot of abuse and it pains me to see that cycle continue now. I am genuinely afraid for her life and am trying as best I can to get her out of this. I would do anything for my mom and right now that includes asking for help!

Thank you for reading and please take care of yourselves and each other 🖤

UPDATE: Fundraising goal has been reduced to align more with my mom's wishes. We are nearly halfway there and almost have enough to cover her rent next month, which is a huge relief! Thank you so much to everyone who's already donated, it means the world! ❤️

YOUR ART IS STUNNING!!!!

It is so atmospheric, the colours and the texture make it feel so real and close and almost heavy, like deep clouds hanging from the sky foreshadowing a storm, or the creak of old floorboards settling in an old house.

And the way you use lighting!!!! You are clearly so skilled at it and creative with it.

What program are you using, if you wish to answer? Any insights into your process would be fascinating.

But yeah!! Love your art!!

Aw thank you so much!! :') I love adding texture and it's nice to know there's a heavier atmosphere coming through. I'm always curious to know what, if any, feeling people associate with things I make! In terms of programs, I use Procreate! Recently I've have been returning to sketching and drawing with pen, though, which has been really nice. I miss the tactility of paper! Pretty much everything I share on here is done digitally though :)
