I'm raising money for basic needs so I can afford basic expenses regarding moving into housing.

Why I'm using HandUp for my basic needs.

My name is Charles Pitts, I've been in San Francisco for 22 years and am getting another start with a new housing opportunity. I am wanting to go back to college, restart my own business in silk screening. In addition, I'm looking for opportunities to do odd jobs and mentorship. The funds that I receive here are going towards getting into housing and affording basic needs, as well as my business.

About me.

I'm from North Chicago and I've been in San Francisco for 22 years, I've done silk-screening, graphic design and restaurant work as a manager, waiter, pizza maker, dishwasher, bicycle repair wheel truing, sound system setup, and merchant work. I have a business license with the state of California.

I spend time reading at the law library, I also like to play chess, hearts and spades.

My backstory.

It was a whole cluttered issue with bad neighbors who were highly agitating, would throw furniture around all night. The landlords did nothing to mediate the problem, and that led to me eventually losing my housing.

My goals, moving forward.

My goal is to get back to college, start one of several businesses; silk screening, graphic design, and continuously grow and learn as an individual.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

Defending the rights of the oppressed.
