Hi, my name is Mutsumi. I’m a single mother to a 3 year old, and we are currently navigating an unexpected family crisis that has required a sudden separation and legal steps related to custody.

My focus right now is simple: keeping a safe, stable, and calm environment for my child while I responsibly work through this transition. I am seeking short-term support to cover essential expenses during this period so that I can remain housed, meet my child’s needs, and address necessary legal matters appropriately.

How the funds will be used

• Approximately two to three months of housing to maintain stability for my child

• Necessary legal expenses related to family court and custody

• Childcare gaps and basic necessities during this transition

The goal of $8,000 reflects a temporary bridge — not long-term support — to help us stay grounded and protected while I work toward long-term stability.

If you feel led to help financially, through prayer, or by sharing this page, I am deeply grateful. Your support directly helps a child remain safe, stable, and cared for during a critical moment.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
