My name is Abigail Persson, and me, my mother, and sister are in desperate need of help.
This past year, my mother has been separated from my abusive and narcissistic father. My sister and I have been with my mother in order to be kept safe from my father's alcoholism, abuse, and violent tendencies. He has made threats on our lives, which has led to my mother getting an emergency order of protection against him.
Around six months ago, he started neglecting our animals. (two cats, Stan and Angel)
His neglect led to one of them (Angel) passing away. Instead of looking for her or calling my mom, he waited three days until I happened to stop by the house to grab a Nintendo Ds game. He offhandedly mentioned that he hadn't seen Angel in that three day span... making me go look for her. I found her underneath my bed, bloated and decomposing. My father made me put our family pet in a trash bag and throw her away until me and my mother could bury her after my mother got off of work. He blamed the death on our other cat when Angel had no signs of scratches or wounds on her when I found her.
As of recently, his violent tendencies have worsened, with it all culminating on October 16th, 2024. On October 16th, 2024, at around 8 pm, my father snapped my (Abigail's) cats neck and killed him with no reason. He then slit his wrist, called an ambulance, and went to the hospital to evade any responsibility for his actions.
When he left the trailer we had been living in before my mother separated from him, it was a disaster. There's irreparable damage to the walls, floors, systems, and ceiling. The ceiling in my sister's room is infested with black mold thanks to his negligence. The cover photo was taken around 8 months ago, with the state of the trailer as of October 20th, 2024 being around 5 times worse than the cover photo attached.
The money that I (Abigail) raise during this GoFundMe will go towards a new single wide trailer, the fees to clean out and move the old double wide trailer off of the property, storage rent, and many many more fees.
Any bit helps at this point. We appreciate any bit of donation we receive.
