  There is a light af the end of the tunnel for Joe and the rest of Elan in this story. It’s not a perfect happy ending, but there’s plenty of positive by the end.

  Joe was an absolute hero for shedding such a painful light on an industry and organization that thrive on raw human suffering. I hope creating this art was as healing for him as possible

  I’ve spent most of my day reading this, thanks for sharing. Although the contents are quite rough, it’s amazing this person has been able to use his art skills for this purpose.
