A true warrior for others Now needs our help

Donation protected
JD Rutherford is a very brave and selfless saint who has advocated for others countless times over, sometimes even sacrificing himself in the process. Since his release from incarceration, he has worked hard starting at the very bottom as a restaurant dish washer, to becoming a chef in the same restaurant, while attending full time school and a part time job to achieve his goals. He then went on to publish his first book that he wrote with his mother before she passed, to writing two other books donating his proceeds to a nonprofit organization he established to help others successfully return to society. He also secured a career in the PepsiCo company where he was on track to a promotion in the company that would have set him up to achieve the financial freedom of buying his own home, and living the dream most thought impossible considering his years of incarceration. Despite all the odds, JD broke through a sealing even he couldn't imagine gaining a huge following on YouTube with his entertaining channel Prison Break Raw. Although often controversial, and never without the drama to go with it, JD pushed on through it learning the lessons he needed to learn, and maturing in the process. The one thing that he never lost from begining to end was his selfless service to others that was taught to him by his spiritual father Vyasa Victor Landa who joined his mother in heaven above. Unfortunately, in April 2021 JD contracted Covid-19. That hit him so hard as a result of an already damaged immune system that he almost lost his life. In his post COVID life, JD suffered a horrific nervous breakdown, severe narcolepsy, various other neurological disorders, and severe depression. After his first born niece lost her life to COVID Omicron on Dec 24th 2021, JD had another nervous breakdown brought on by survivor guilt. He spend over two years afterwards languishing in a bed of depression and self loathing with no one paying his declining state no mind or concern. Finally when all the tools of self destruction or depression had run their course, JD finally woke up to see how far he fell. Whether it was the voice of his mother, his mentor, or both, something inside of him had said enough. Now at the brink of being homeless while penniless, he attempted to pull himself out of the rutt that he has found himself in only to succumb to illness yet again brought on by overexertion in a desperate attempt to make ends meet. JD now suffers from a severe lung infection, and body fatigue brought on by doing odd jobs in freezing temperatures. He is currently bedridden and faces eviction court in just a few short days.
Family, friends, and fans, JD Rutherford needs our help more than ever before. He has helped many others out there, including myself. My name is Patty R. I am a survivor of domestic violence that has left me with 48% of my body in burn scares from the man I once loved as my husband. JD helped me to get out of my own hell of depression and start living again. But enough about me. My friend needs us and we cannot let him down. Our goal of $3000 will help him sustain a roof over his head, long enough for him to get well and do the rest of which I know he will. Please help in any amount you can thank you.
