Emergency Support for a Mother & Child in South Ko
Title: Betrayed by Family: Help a Mother Save Her Son
Description:
I'm a single mother in South Korea fighting to keep my son safe after being betrayed by family and forced out of my job.
For over 10 years, I worked at a family-run company owned by my uncle. After he passed away, his spouse took control and cut our side of the family off. False rumors were spread to destroy my reputation, I endured isolation and harassment, and was eventually forced out through a disciplinary process.
At the same time, my husband provided no support and pressured me to leave home. I'm now facing urgent overdue bills, service cutoffs, and need immediate help to keep stability for my child while I prepare to fight this legally.
Goal: $7,000 for basic survival, medical recovery, legal support, and restarting my small business "BUTTIM" (Korean-inspired sticker designs).
Evidence (personal information redacted) included:
- Birth memory box with umbilical cord and footprint records
- Screenshots of urgent payment notices (mosaicked for privacy)
- Photos of my planning work and my child's daily activities
- BUTTIM brand preparation materials
Planned Use of Funds ($7,000):
• Housing & utilities (rent + essential bills): $2,500
• Food & child essentials: $1,200
• Phone/Internet/transportation (job search & legal appointments): $400
• Medical support & counseling: $1,200
• Legal support (labor dispute + divorce/child support consultation & document fees): $1,400
• BUTTIM restart costs (sticker prototypes, design tools, listing fees): $800
• Emergency buffer + platform/payment fees: $500
I will share updates transparently as the situation develops, with personal information redacted for safety.
If you can donate or share this campaign, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Even a small contribution helps keep my son safe while I rebuild our life.
With gratitude,
Hope's Mom
