I am setting up this Handup account because I am in need of financial help. My goal is to find a job and keep the housing I was set up with to make a better life for myself.
I am a 20-year-old female, I was born in Pontiac, MI and have lived there my whole life. I used to work at taco bell and KFC. I was adopted when I was 6 years old, i have two brothers and one sister. We were all adopted together. I don’t talk to any of them, my family doesn’t stay in-touch.
I moved out with my foster parents with friends, and then the pandemic hit, and I lost my job at KFC. Unable to pay my portion of rent, I moved out and start couch surfing. I entered the shelter to get help find housing and get a job so I could take care of myself.
My goal is to become stable, I am hoping that I am able to get a job and get a car and that will allow me to keep my housing and not be in a bad situation where I need help again.
What makes me the happiest is having a good time and being around people with a positive mindset. My proudest moment is being able to provide for myself. My wildest dreams is getting a home, job and car so I can be able to care for myself and be able to travel and go places.
