I am using HandUp so I can buy new clothes that are work appropriate.
I am from Detroit, Michigan. I have lived there since I was born. I've worked at many places, but my favorite job was being a caregiver. I spend most of my time thinking and planning things for my life.
I am homeless because I was dealing with an abusive man who wanted to control me. I have a two-year-old who is watching so I did not want him seeing those types of things because I do not think it's healthy or appropriate.
My goals moving forward are to finish school, find a great neighborhood to raise my child, find a home and a good daycare for him.
Things that makes me happy are music, accomplishments, compliments, my baby, and growth. My proudest moments are when I teach my son new things or when I accomplish something. My wildest dream is to travel around the world.
