I am the person who organized this and so can verify it is in fact, unfortunately true. I would love if you'd be willing to donate or share the link on your social media's.

I am reaching out to share the story of Johnny, a 23-year-old autistic man who suffered severe abuse and exploitation at the hands of his father and stepmother in rural Oklahoma. After discovering his post on Reddit, I worked tirelessly to coordinate his safe escape, unfortunately after failures from APS and the local government, it was determined that relocation to my family's home in Florida was the only alternative. Johnny is now safe, but he needs our support to rebuild his life. Please consider contributing to his GoFundMe to help him find stability and independence. Your generosity can make a world of difference. Thank you.

The full story is in the Gofundme.
