Danny has reached his fundraising goal on HandUp!

About me.

I was born and raised in Corvallis and have lived here for most of my adult life. I earned a Certificate of Completion as an Auto Body Technician from LBCC and worked many years as an Auto Body Technician, in a plywood mill, and as a battery separator.

My backstory.

I have been struggling with my mental health concerns, substance abuse, and homelessness for the better part of 20 years. It seems like no matter what I did I ended up spending about 70% of the time unemployed and homeless and about 30% of the time employed and in housing. I am now stabilized and engaging in mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment to get my life back on track.

My goals, moving forward.

My current goals are to finish my Alcohol and Drug Treatment Program at Community Outreach Inc, find a place to call my home, and be an active member of society giving back whenever and wherever I can.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

What makes me the happiest is to lift up other people so that they know they have self-worth.
