“For those who pushed her to do this, to each of you who had made her feel that way, I would have liked to be seen to find her (…) that you could hear the screams and tears of her family and Freya’s little broken heart when she tried to understand why she would never see her mother again.” It was with these words that Ethan, the husband of Mikayla Raines, announced his death this Monday, June 23.
With only 29 years, the influence Mikayla Raines, known for his commitments in favor of the animal cause, committed suicide, reports the mirror. In a long 11 -minute video, her husband denounces the harassment that the young woman suffered online.
“Envy and jealousy”
Mikayla Raines suffered from autism, a personality and depression disorder. The behavior of online Internet users would have pushed it until the end. “False rumors spread and be a sensitive person, who has affected it deeply. He tried for years to overcome pain, but this time, it was too much,” said her husband in video. It also evokes difficult comments or insults “due to envy and jealousy.”
In fact, a Reddit page dedicated to influencer had opened only to criticize it. Some said, for example, that he used the animals he was saving.
The young woman would also have been harassed by some of her relatives. “Some of the most violent words and the most serious accusations come from people with whom she was close,” he deplores.
The content designer, followed by 2.4 million subscribers on YouTube, became known for her commitment to animals. Mikayla began saving them and protecting them from 15 years. “From an early age, he spent his life every hour to help them, either to help a serpentine turtle to cross the road or save 500 foxes from a terrible farm of skins,” recalls her husband.
Therefore, created the Save A Fox association, a shelter to combat the traffic of fox skins and rehabilitate wild animals. “Mikayla was really the most incredible and inspiring person I have met, and his absence gives me a feeling of vacuum. I feel broken,” Ethan added. The young man promised his community to last his inheritance.
His community quickly paid tribute to the star of the networks. “Many people in our community have foxes only thanks to Mikayla’s dedication to their mission and their empathy towards animals (…) We will all carry a small piece of their light that lives through them”, so we will share the story of the Wildlife Life Refuge Organization.
