I'm raising money for a security deposit so I can move into a place with my family.

Why I'm using HandUp for a security deposit.

I am using Handup to get funds that will go towards a house for my family and I.

About me.

I am originally from a different state, but grew up in Michigan. When I had my children, I had to flee due to a domestic violence situation, and moved to a different state. Then we came back to Michigan around 2019 when Covid began to get extra support.

My backstory.

I lost my job, which led to me and my children become homeless after falling behind on rent. We moved in with family but due to a domestic violence situation, we had to leave. We were then staying in a hotel and I got a new job to cover those costs, but I was fired from that position, and was unable to keep paying for the hotel.

My goals, moving forward.

My children and I will all work together and be there for each other to find housing. My older kids will be going to trade school, and I would like to go back to college as well.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

Even though we have been dealing with some hard times, my children and I are closer than ever. My kids are my heart. Seeing them grow and watching who they become makes me so proud!
