                            <div class="form-group">
                                    <textarea class="form-control" id="" rows="4"></textarea>
                            </div>

                     </div>
                </form>
            <br/>
            <br/>

        </div>

Controller.js

router.get('/donation/mail', async (req,res) => {

  res.render('mail');

});
var transport = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
  service: "gmail",
    auth: {
        // should be replaced with real sender's account
        user: '[email protected]',
        pass: 'mygmailpassword'
    }
  }));

router.post('/send-email', function (req, res) {

  var mailOptions = {
      // should be replaced with real recipient's account
      to: req.body.to,
      from:'[email protected]',
      subject: req.body.subject,
      body: req.body.message
  };
  transport.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info) {
    if (error) {
        return console.log(error);
    }
    console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
});

res.redirect("/donation");
});

Welcome to SO! Thank your for adequately asking your first question. You can improve things: don't use images unless they are necessary. The POST /send-email 302 195.545ms 62 fits very well into text. — dr0i
Where did the 302 appear - in the browser, or in the terminal console log? Did the email actually get sent? It doesn't make sense to get a 302 from a transport.sendMaiil call, perhaps the 302 is a result of the res.redirect (which doesn't match the url in the listener in your example — Mikkel

Before sending your email using gmail you have to allow non secure apps to access gmail. This can be done in your gmail settings:

I can also recommend the following article for step by step instructions to setup nodemailer with gmail: https://codeburst.io/sending-an-email-using-nodemailer-gmail-7cfa0712a799
