My name is Ashanti Gooden, I lived in Detroit Mi most of my life. I have been working at Accession Providence Hospital for three years in food nutrition. I have two kids, Dylan 8 and Dakota 7. We enjoy each other's company, and as a family enjoy bike riding, reading books, and watching movies together. I had planned to never have kids, But they changed my life and I wouldn't trade my kids for anything in the this world, they my everything.
Taking care of my sister who has a disability and my nephew , I tried to help my family. Trying to do everything on my own caused me to loss everything in August 2019, and left me and my children homeless.
I want to get stably housed, and go back to school to get my degree as a social worker, and be able to help others. I want to be able to do things for my children and take them places and give them more then I had as a child.
What makes me happiest is seeing my kids happy. Being comfortable and having our own place. My proudest moments is seeing my children happy .
