I'm raising money for pet food & grocerries so I can had food for myself and my pet**.

Why I'm using HandUp for pet food & grocerries.

I'm fundraising for household items, my dog's needs. I am very exciting because finally I will have a sweet home. I was struggling as a homeless in the streets for so many years that I feel blessed.

Thank you in advance for your support and compassion!

About me.

Hi, my name is Cook and I'm originally from San Francisco. I became homeless when I was 15-years old. I struggled with going to school because of my health challenges.

I do like reading and writing, and I'm working on a GED. After that I'd like to work in health care.

My goals, moving forward.

I'd love to find a job in healthcare to help other people stay healthy and have a better life. Finding housing for me and my son would help me focus on finding my dream job.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

My happiest moments are seeing other people happy. I love getting people together and helping them feel at their best. I'm part of a cooking program and I'm also an advocate for being a better citizen. Formerly I graduated from a leadership development program and I'm passionate about taking care of others.
