Single mother in need of support to provide better

‍Hello! My name is Kristi Watanabe, and I am a single mother to the most amazing 5 year-old son, Theo. I have spent the last 5 years in property management trying to provide for myself and my son with little to no assistance, and no child support. I found myself unexpectedly unemployed last year and while I am now back in the workforce, I have found myself with declining mental health and needing to make a change. With escalating housing prices and stagnating wages, the strain of this industry has pushed me to my absolute limits. I have a dream to go back to school and pursue studies in law, in order to provide a better future for my little family. 

As we all know, the journey to bettering oneself is not an easy one, especially financially. Tuition fees, textbooks, living expenses...the list goes on. And this is where I could use your help. 

 

I’ve set up this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the charges that will inevitably incur with ongoing education. By contributing, you are not only helping a mother, but you are also investing in the future of a child.

 

No amount is too small. Every dollar can make a difference. If you can't donate, please consider sharing this with your friends and family. Your share could be the one that helps reach our goal. 

They say it takes a village and now more than ever, the support of my village is a crucial part of giving my little family a path to stability. Thank you for your generosity and support of what I hope is a life-changing chapter for us.
