Summarized : Ana is a competitive dancer and a dance teacher. She was brutally assaulted on her way home. She was raped, stabbed and beaten. Ana suffered physical trauma as well as deep psychological trauma. She will be spending another month in a hospital, which leaves her with no income. Her friends and family are hoping Ana will be able to fullfil one of her biggest dream - to compete in a Latin dance competition abroad in Vienna in 6 months. She also needs to cover her medical bills, therapies and basic necessities.
This is Ana, my best friend of 12 years. She is an amazing competitive Latin and Ballroom dancer who won numerous competitions and awards. She is also one of the kindest, most caring people I know. When we first met, 12 years ago, I didn’t speak a word of English as I am a daughter of Czech immigrants who moved to New York a month before Ana and I met. She was the first person in this strange new place who made me feel like I belonged. Every day she would help me with homework and practise English with me. After 3 months of her constant help, I became nearly fluent.
A week ago, something unthinkable happened to Ana.

so there is this webcomic called Grim Tales From Down Below based on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and there’s this one page that freaks the fuck outta me
like, Mandy demands to Grim to see her hourglass (which is the thing that defines when it’s her time to die) and then he shows it to her, and it’s already empty. So Mandy asks “why didn’t you take my soul yet” and Grim doesn’t really know how to respond and then Mandy goes to the kitchen and Grim asks “what are you doing?” and–

THIS PAGE ALWAYS MADE ME SHIVER BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY HOW MANDY ACTUALLY ACTS IN THE CARTOON, EXCEPT WE DON’T GET TO SEE THIS DARK FUCKING SIDE OF HER DEMENTED MIND BECAUSE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A KIDS’ SHOW I MEAN FUCK IF YOU TAKE THE “KIDS’ SHOW” ELEMENT, MANDY IS PROBABLY THE MOST DISTURBING CHARACTER I HAVE EVER SEEN
