I'm raising money for a laptop so I can improve my education and employment skills**.

Why I'm using HandUp for a laptop.

I am currently looking for work, furthering my education as well. A laptop would help me to have better success in the areas that I am working for. I am a railroad guy and my goal is to pursue Electrical Trade school. Any help you can give me as I look for work will be so appreciated. I am currently homeless, living in shelter.

About me.

I am from San Francisco California. My field of work is Transportation as of now. I am looking for employment, the only hold-back for me is getting my Class B. Commercial licence from DMV, to begin Driving for MUNI or Lava Mae Company.

I am a person experiencing homelessness at this time and need a laptop computer to navigate through the system to find work and resources to assist me in finding housing.

My backstory.

I was in Brooklyn, New York, working for the railroad for five years. I resigned and relocated back to San Francisco, due to a situation where a parent passed; my mother is recovering from cancer, and I wanted to be here to support her in her recovery. This is my home. Since my return, it has been a struggle to find employment in my field that will support my daily needs. I am a people's person--I enjoy working with people and helping in any way I can.

My goals, moving forward.

I would like to further my education. In today's age of technology, I would like to move into a managerial position. I love working with my hands and edifying my mind and pushing myself to the uttermost goals.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

I do believe the spiritual life and miracles also change people helping people - thank you
