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

Why I'm using HandUp for security deposit.

The money would really help with furniture and bedding--things that would be useful around the house.

About me.

I'm from Pontiac, Michigan. I've lived in the city for about 34 years now. I was working before I got third degree burns--I was boiling water and accidentally spilled it. In my free time, I usually like to teach my son his ABCs and 123s, and just spend time with him in general.

My backstory.

I was always staying with my mom, and she passed away, so I didn't have anywhere to do.

My goals, moving forward.

My goals are to get my son through school, to continue to keep the job that I have, and to make a supportive and healthy life for my son.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

What makes me happiest is being around people that are nice to me. My proudest moment of my life was when I got my high school diploma. My wildest dream would be to go to Jamaica--it's a beautiful land.
