I'm raising money for furniture so I can furnish my new place.

Why I'm using HandUp for furniture.

I'm getting ready to transition from the MER Program at Mariners Inn to my own place to live independently. I have been sober for 3 years and now it's time to move forward. I am moving out of Mariners Inn and into a fresh sober start with my own apartment. I would greatly appreciate any help that you could give!

About me.

I have been sober for 3 years now. Now it's time to move up and out! I'm moving out of Mariners and into my new apartment!

I came to Mariners Inn November 12, 2017. They have helped me a lot in my journey to sobriety. I am currently going to school full time for social work so that I can help someone, the way they have helped me!

My backstory.

I was homeless and addicted to heroine when I first came to Mariners Inn. I'm now 3 years clean, going to school full time, and preparing to move into my own apartment.

My goals, moving forward.

I plan on doing an internship at Detroit Recovery Project and become a certified recovery coach! My goal is to work with individuals that have been in the same situation as me and help them as much as possible.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

My dream is to live sober and be peaceful. I am now living a more genuine and happy life without the use of drugs. Making a smooth transition into my new apartment will be a dream come true, then I can continue living my life in sobriety.
