Why I'm using HandUp for bills and basic every day needs.
I am raising money and using Hand Up because I need help. I am working on obtaining income but the process is taking a long time. I really need help with paying my phone bill, basic hygiene necessities, medications, food, and clothing.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my account. Have a fantastic day!
About me.
I am from Detroit and I have lived here for 51 years. I am a proud Detroiter. I have three children and two grandsons that I love very much, and spend most of my time with. I love music and reading!
My backstory.
I became homeless because I had lost my income at the time. I suffer from multiple illnesses that challenged my way of living previously and brought on many hardships. I suffer from chronic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis. I am no longer homeless because I worked hard at advocating for myself in order to get help. I now have a new apartment that I love and I am very grateful for. I just now am experiencing the challenges of still working on getting income but not having the funds to pay for basic needs such as old bills, toiletries, food, and now new bills. I need this help now so I can become more independent and successful as soon as possible.
My goals, moving forward.
I have many goals. I hope to continue to take care of my illness and stay housed. I want to work with the others that have helped me to get to this point so that I can stay successful and work on new successes. My goal is to be healthy and make sure that I am alive to see my grandsons graduate one day. I am looking forward to the future and trying to stay positive, despite when life may give you negatives.
Other things I'd like to share about myself.
I was so proud to see my son graduate from high school. I am happiest when I can see my kids! I am also happiest when I can learn new ways to manage my pain in order to feel healthy.

One step away from stability
Sep 21, 2021 at 5:08p.m.Ms. Beard is an driven outstanding client that I personally wish the best for and have provided the minimal I can for her to care for herself but she is the type of person to go out of her way for another and just needs some assistance to make it through.

I have been blessed by being provided aid with my housing but my disability prevents me from working and while I receive food I cannot get the personal hygiene items tp keep my clothing clean or purchase my feminine products. My case worker has graciously helped out of her own pocket to get by until I begin receiving income but I ashamed to ask for these items and it takes a lot to even build up the courage to ask those on this site for help with my basic needs until my disability case is finalized. Please find it in your heart to donate anything even a dollar will help with getting deodorant or 1/3 the cost to wash my clothes. I am grateful for all the help I have gotten and gracious for everything god provides. I pray I will not need help with my basic needs again but I will be great full and pray for and of those willing to assist me for these trying times while I am awaiting my case determination. God bless and love to all.

A HandUp Update from Delette
May 31, 2019 at 5:32p.m.I am really in need of some donations for my laundry card. I have been unable to wash my clothes and it has been really hard. I am still working with SSA in hopes of getting income as I am disabled and unable to work, but it is taking much longer than expected. Thank you for taking the time to look at my account.

Thank you again so much and I hope you have a great day, week, month and year!
