I'm raising money for basic needs so I can replace my stolen belongings**.

Why I'm using HandUp for my basic needs.

I need the resources and extra help. My belongings were recently stolen. I am going through some health issues and have been having a hard time right now. Any support you can give would be very appreciated.

About me.

I am waiting on permanent housing, and I'm paying weekly for a hotel room. I am asking for any donations possible to go towards my basic needs. I am in need of clothes very badly, I only have 1 outfit at the moment, due to recent theft of my possessions.

While this has been challenging I have felt the good graces from others that understand my journey and support me emotionally.

I am a people person and I love brightening people's days! I worked as a concierge and in the customer service industry. I recently became unemployed but am working hard to get back on my feet. I just need a leg up to get through this difficult time so I can get back to my passion - lifting up the people around me!

My backstory.

I lost work and couldn't keep up with financial responsibilities of affording to live in San Francisco. I have been houseless and living on the streets as I wait for opportunities to arise. I refuse to give up my dream and am living my life as I see it to be. Hopefully soon I will be housed.

The support that I am asking for is to be able to afford a living situation that will allow me to continue to follow my dreams. Any donation that can assist me will be greatly appreciated and put to good use.

My goals, moving forward.

I am working hard to get my own place again and get back into the workforce. I am capable and actively searching for stable housing. This has been a struggle considering world events at the moment, but my faith is strong.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

I am a very outgoing and social person and I love helping other people. I like to volunteer and give back to my community whenever possible. Thank you for taking the time to hear my story.
