I'm raising money for basic needs.

About me.

Currently I am living in supportive housing in San Francisco. I am originally from the mid-west and moved to the Bay Area 40 years. I am retired, prior to retiring I was working as a cook. Music and film are huge part of my life. I enjoy playing guitar and going to the cinema. I am also an animal lover and enjoy volunteering at animal shelters.

My backstory.

I am originally from the midwest. When I moved to the Bay Area I worked as cook for many notable resturants. I was and still am very active in the Bay Area music and arts scene. At one point in my life I lost close family members and my relationship with my partner ended. I became homeless for 3 years as a result. I was fortunate enough to secure stable housing and get the support needed to get back on my feet,

My goals, moving forward.

My goal is to improve my quality of life. I am doing so by addressing health issues I haven't been able to due to lack of resources and financial hardship. I have been taking iniative to get dentures so I can improve my healthy eating and self-esteem. I have also been reconnecting and rebuilding relationships with family and friends.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

Prior to my parents passing away I was their caregiver. I am proud of myself for being able to care for them. I am happiest when I am playing my guitar, spending time with friends, voluteering and making a difference in other peoples lives. I also love bunny rabbits.
