SUPPORT FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVOR

Donation protected
On February 9th a woman named Jazmin had to make an impossible decision, one that no one should ever have to face but courageously carried out. After a string of brutal attacks handed out by her boyfriend she unfortunately was faced with having to choose between her own life and his and she chose hers rightfully so. As punishment he would do The unthinkable, he would use a knife and stab her. After kicking her numerous times, he looked at her and said " I have something for you." Jazmin knew he would be going for the knife so she quickly ran for protection and saved herself from another stabbing. I'm her neighbor and as I slept, at around 3 am my daughter was woken up to the sound of Brandon rice beating and brutalizing Jazmine Johnson. "Mom he kept threatening that he was going to kill her, I heard a lot of banging around and screaming, then one loud BANG then everything went quiet" mortified my child had to hear that, I was also glad because I know how hard it is for black and brown women of color to beat a self defense case in this country and I know my daughter could provide evidence if necessary. Countless times before my kids have asked about her bruises, we have heard the fighting, and felt so helpless alot of the time. Always letting Jazmin know I'm only one phone call away. Now we are here, Jazmin and her son are alive and healthy thanks to her act of strength and bravery, but will definitely need support. I want her to be able to heal and rewrite her new normal. The last thing she needs to worry about is a bill or food to buy for her and that amazing little boy. So I ask my community to please rally behind this family and show her that safety is a human right that should be given. Thank you, with Love and with Light!
