I'm raising money for Basic needs so I can to be presentable**.

Why I'm using HandUp for Basic needs.

I have been homeless for a long time but now I have subsidized housing and I am living on a fixed income and can't afford a lot of things.

About me.

born and raised in Oakland Ca, I went to school until I moved to San Jose in 1992, lived and worked there as a manager of a a first food chain. Moved back to San Francisco, then I started to develop health problems.

My backstory.

After arriving to San Francisco, I noticed that my vision was blureed. Then my eyesight completely left in one eye. Then my kidneys failed. Now, I am in disability. Thank God I have subsidized housing.

My goals, moving forward.

Continuing to work my resources, stay on top of my health. I am choosing to live.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

My proudest moment is now. I have a great team helping me to move forward. I was once in a black hole and it felt like a vacuum sucking me under but I am now able to see the light by working together in a team.
