About this fundraiser

My name is Jewel. I was in a very abuser relationship with a very financially well off man. He became very abusive in a matter of a couple of years. Physical, emotional, verbally and financially, the physical abuse was the least of it. In 2017 I left with nothing not even my children. I had no means to fight for them back then. I thought he was going to kill me. Last September he was arrested for domestic violence against my daughter. It is all public record. He was caught by his employee on his own business security camera. He spent 8 days in jail because in Illinois it is not a felony to beat a child. She is 95 pounds. He is a malignant narcissist and I do not throw that out there lightly. I have spent all my means in family court in the last 2 years to try and get my daughters back and get them the therapy they need. My oldest has a rare genetic disorder and he doesn’t take care of her like is necessary and back in December 2025 he was only supposed to visit with her for 6 days and took her to Florida and then laughed at me on our family wizard app. Without immediate help I cannot go on fighting for these girls. Writing this makes me tear up because they are my best friends and he barely lets me speak to them!!! I need help My youngest he will not put into school (virtual Florida school) she has no friends and just spends her day doing what her dads tells her to do. I hate that my children are living this life. They deserve better 😭😭😭😭
