Help Support Dawn Watson’s Recovery Journey

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

We’re reaching out on behalf of Dawn Watson, a bright light in the world and a dear friend to many. Dawn is a fellow massage therapy student who is just steps away from graduating and beginning her journey of helping others heal through her hands and her heart.

Dawn is one of eleven children and has always been known for her kind, selfless spirit. She’s the type of person who lifts up everyone around her—now, it's our turn to lift her up.

Dawn has been bravely battling severe endometriosis, a painful and debilitating condition that has impacted her life in countless ways. After exhausting all other options, she is now facing a major surgery: a total hysterectomy at just 38 years old. This necessary procedure means not only a long physical recovery (at least 3 months), but also emotional healing from the heartbreaking reality that she will not be able to have children of her own.

While she focuses on her healing—both physical and emotional—we want to help relieve the financial stress that comes from being unable to work during recovery. This fundraiser will help cover:

  • Living expenses while she’s unable to work
  • Medical and recovery-related costs
  • Emotional support resources such as therapy
  • Everyday essentials as she navigates this difficult time

Dawn has dedicated her life to caring for others, and soon she’ll be entering a profession where she’ll be doing just that every single day. Let’s show her the same compassion she’s shown so many of us.

Any contribution—no matter the size—will make a difference. Please share her story, keep her in your thoughts, and help us remind Dawn that she is not alone.

Thank you for your love and support.

—With gratitude,
Friends of Dawn Watson
