A message to thank everybody
Added 2021-04-01 22:23:57 +0000 UTCthis is a message for those who donated to me on gofundme, paypal, patreon, or any other way.
i cant talk about my situation publicly, but i can talk about it here. As soon as the doxing and threats started, we left the state; we went to nebraska, just to get out of the area. we stayed for about a week. then we came back for a single day, last sunday, and left for new york city monday morning. i dropped kylie off with my mom in connecticut, because we were getting threats from people talking about kidnapping her from the evil atheist, and i didnt want her to be trapped in the middle. not to mention the fact that this life is completely unstable and she would never have time to do schoolwork. so my mom has her currently, and is helping her do the schoolwork, safely in connecticut. meanwhile, we're working on getting an apartment in the new york area. if not directly in the city (you can find really inexpensive places in queens), then somewhere in connecticut, just outside the city. i dropped kylie off with my mom on tuesday and looked at apartments. we filled out an application, but we can't actually turn the application in to the landlord until i get vaccination records for my cat, which we're getting tomorrow at 3 pm. so currently, kylie is safe out of state, and my girlfriend and i are staying in west virginia until we hear back from the landlord in the north east. im not leaving the house. havent left the house since we got back. she takes the trash out, does the shopping, etc. i just stay inside with the blinds closed while i work.
either way, we'll be out of this situation soon, all thanks to you guys. for real. the support we've received through this whole thing has been absolutely god damn fucking bananas. i never expected so much help from everybody. but we got what we needed to move, and the only barrier now is the landlords. i have rough credit from when i was homeless, so it's been a struggle trying to get a landlord who will accept me, but we'll make it. we just need a little more time.

After months of contemplating on supporting Telltale I decided I will do what I felt was right. I'm not an atheist either (Christian) an open-minded one but I too respect all beliefs. Yes in my belief I hear you say things I don't necessarily agree with but if I held it against you then we wouldn't be a society with open dialogue in a respectful manner. Just like Peter Beiber expresses I too am truly so sorry you, your family, and others like yourself have to be (in this instance) persecuted for their beliefs. Any and all religions are to be welcomed as long as it's not radicalized to an extreme of hate to kill others and dividing the country. I'm honored to support your cause and only wish I was able to be a gold member 🤗. Thank you for your honesty, facts, and moral compass. My very best to your and your loved ones!

2021-04-16 22:40:59 +0000 UTCI'm not an atheist (Catholic) but I respect your beliefs and enjoy watching your videos. So sorry you had to go through such a horrible experience and am glad you are on your way to safety and a new life for you and your daughter. There are plenty of parochial schools to send your kids to if you want them to have a religious education. What your child's health teacher did was completely wrong. Your point about teaching Islam in school was spot on. Fundamentalist evangelicals would never stand for that. If it makes you feel better (and I'm guessing it probably won't) those same people really don't like Catholics much, either. My very best to you and your daughter for a bright future!

2021-04-02 08:40:30 +0000 UTCI can definitely relate to having nothing, being homeless, and the desperate need to get your teeth fixed when you’re unable to afford it. It cost me $500 to get two teeth pulled about a year ago, with insurance. I also needed surgery on some other teeth but it was way more than I can afford. I know how hard it is when you can’t even afford to have your basic needs met, let alone fix your teeth. I’m really glad to hear that so many people stepped up to help you and your family get to safety. You’ve clearly affected so many people in such a positive way. I hope everything works out well and you can finally have some peace.

2021-04-02 03:41:52 +0000 UTCGlad to hear Kylie is safe. Rose wasn't doxed? She can go to the store safely? Did you spring the kitties from the boarding facility, yet, or is that the final step before you leave for good? If Rose has good credit, will that help? Jesus fucking Christ, this whole thing is a nightmare. Isn't what those people have done & still threaten to do illegal? I'm scared all the time for all of you, and so infuriated, too.

2021-04-02 01:43:55 +0000 UTCSometimes I wonder if we're still a first world country, to be honest. The America I've experienced for nearly 66 years (birthday in a few days) seems to be fading fast. Our democracy is under attack & the inmates are running the asylum (American expression for things really going to shit).

2021-04-02 00:45:36 +0000 UTCBetter days ahead, Owen. I don't actually believe in karma but my life does the best it can to convince me; you'll be ok. The good you send into the world WILL come back to you. Peace, brother.

2021-04-01 22:45:00 +0000 UTCIt just blows my mind that people out there think that kidnapping a child is a good thing. I am SO glad that Kylie is safe and I hope you all get a home in New York soon so that you can get out of looneyville there. Stay Safe man!

2021-04-01 22:37:16 +0000 UTCI only just saw the news about you being targeted in your own town but I'd still love to help if anyone can point me to where I can donate (I can do any payment platforms). Cant seem to find any links.

2021-04-01 22:30:41 +0000 UTCGood to hear you are all safe. Man. I'm sorry you all have to go through that. It's truly awful how hurtful they are, and they don't even realize it. Or if they do, they justify it; they see themselves as righteous. Truly sick. I hope Kylie is ok after all this. She doesn't deserve any of it. Its crazy how harmful religion can be. You all take care. If you're ever in NE again hmu.

Eric Conard
2021-04-01 22:29:57 +0000 UTCNever hurts to look into various housing authorities for assistance or programs like Vocational Rehabilitation (career counseling) as working on setting folks up in stable housing can be part of those plans. Seeing as you have to relocate employment wise in many respects (3D printing business). Just a thought. 🙂

2021-04-01 22:28:35 +0000 UTCI’m glad things are coming together, sorry it’s still so rough. Hoping for the best with the landlord and cats! Honestly, I have a bankruptcy on my record, so I’m worried about moving in the next few years, too.
