George Zimmerman has officially launched a website from which he is soliciting donations to his legal defense fund.

Creatively-titled TheRealGeorgeZimmerman.com, the site sports an American flag background, photos of Zimmerman-supporting graffiti (including “Long Live Zimmerman,” scrawled across the side of a Black cultural center), and a few thoughts from Zimmerman himself.

Zimmerman is using the website to gain and cultivate sympathy from supporters, as well as the public at large.

From TheRealGeorgeZimmerman.com:

“On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website’s sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries.

    It has come to my attention that some persons and/or entities have been collecting funds, thinly veiled as my “Defense Fund” or “Legal Fund”. I cannot attest to the validity of these other websites as I have not received any funds collected, intended to support my family and I through this trying, tragic time.

    I have created a Paypal account solely linked on this website as I would like to provide an avenue to thank my supporters personally and ensure that any funds provided are used only for living expenses and legal defense, in lieu of my forced inability to maintain employment. I will also personally, maintain accountability of all funds received. I reassure you, every donation is appreciated.

Sincerely,
George Zimmerman”
