Heard still needs to pay more than $8 million to Johnny Depp in the wake of her trial loss. But the GoFundMe page honors Amber’s allegations that she suffered from domestic violence. As a result, the money collected will go to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

Kylie Putnam, a super fan of Amber’s, created the “Donate to the NCADV In Amber Heard’s Honor.” And after supporting Heard throughout her defamation trial against Depp, Putnam reportedly vowed to continue the battle. However, her decision to create the GoFundMe for NCADV also showcases Kylie’s belief that Amber told the truth about suffering domestic violence.

GoFundMe Page Defends Amber Heard And Other ‘Survivors’

As a result of the fan’s support, the GoFundMe page features Putnam’s defense of both Amber Heard and domestic violence survivors. “For years, Amber Heard has been subjected to a swarm of relentless harassment and vitriol for coming forward about her personal experience with domestic violence,” shared Kylie. “And the media frenzy surrounding the Depp vs Heard trial has only made the situation more dire.”

However, the fan also accused the jury and social media of victim-blaming. “Even with the piles of evidence documenting the abuse that took place, the truth is repeatedly ignored in favor of rhetoric drenched in victim blaming and mass cruelty,” added Putnam on the GoFundMe page. “The world’s response to Amber Heard not only hurts Amber but survivors everywhere.” And Kylie claimed that Heard’s loss in the trial sends a message. “The message is clear: ‘This is what happens when you speak out,'” added the fan.

As a result of Putnam’s efforts, the page has almost achieved its goal of $2,000. And Putnam also described her reason for creating the GoFundMe. “It’s hard to hear the people next to you when the harassment and hatred is this loud,” Kylie stated. “So I decided to start a GoFundMe to make a donation to the NCADV in her honor to remind her that there are people who stand with her.”
