I'm raising money for a security deposit so I can find stable housing.

Why I'm using HandUp for a security deposit.

I am currently looking for childcare for my children. While I get that in order, I'd like some extra financial assistance with a security deposit so that I can secure an apartment.

About me.

I've lived in Pontiac for three months now. I have two children and I'm a single mother. I spend all of my time with my children and trying to make life better for them.

My backstory.

I was with the same man for several years but he became abusive after we had our children. He stole money from me and I left to live with family. Then I ended up in shelter.

My goals, moving forward.

I am working towards home ownership and steady employment. I am mostly focused on working from home to spend as much time as possible with my kids. I am also working at building my credit so that I can get approved for an FHA loan.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

My children make me the happiest (their wellbeing, their smiles). My proudest moment is when I accepted single motherhood and knowing I can be great. My wildest dream is to reach happiness after triumph.
