Verified by Travelers Aid Society of Metropolitan Detroit.
I am using Hand Up to furnish my home. I am in need of a bedroom set after my last one was damaged in an apartment fire.
I am a hardworking man, working different temp jobs to make ends meet. I am hoping to find permanent employment soon.
I was born and raised in Detroit but moved out of state for work as an adult. I moved back to Detroit when my sister fell ill. My sister was like a mother to me and she passed soon after I moved back. I am trying to get back on my feet here in Michigan through the Travelers Aid program.
My goals moving forward are to own a home again and open a small business.
I'm raising money for contacts/glasses so I can see better in order to gain new employment opportunities.
I'm raising money for a work van so I can end homelessness.
I'm raising money for outstanding tickets so I can get my drivers license back and drive legally.
